Cómo se hacen las grandes series: La televisión "a la carta"

by Neil Landau, Ángel Blasco Marqueta (Translator)

Amazon, Hulu y Netflix han sido solo el comienzo de la rápida evolución que se está produciendo en el ecosistema de televisión. La proliferación de lo digital ha llevado a una diversidad cada vez mayor de programación, más auténtica y atractiva que nunca. Ya no existe diferencia entre emisión, cable y streaming. Todo es, sencillamente, contenido. Al margen de las nuevas plataformas y canales que surjan en los próximos años, el futuro del entretenimiento nunca ha sido tan prometedor para creadores y escritores. Este libro va más allá de un análisis de lo que hace que la gran programación funcione. Es un máster en la creación de entretenimiento que supera los estándares del público y desafía sus expectativas, donde el autor invita •satisfacer al espectador compulsivo, mediante el análisis de los nuevos géneros, tendencias y decisiones que hacen que una historia sea sólida y sostenible; •desarrollar personajes icónicos, que capturen audiencia, mediante la empatía y el diálogo; •realizar una carrera con recorrido en el mercado de una televisión en evolución, y aprovechar al máximo las nuevas oportunidades.

So refreshing to read an up-to-date TV writing guide! Most of them are still living in the 90s at the latest and pointing to Everybody Loves Raymond and Cheers as examples, which can still teach plenty, but we're past network formula so this guide is valuable for NOW.

Love that it refers to Insecure, Crazy Ex Girlfriend, Mr. Robot and Ryan Murphy. It analyzes TV shows and current TV landscape and the end is jam-packed with both practical and analytical insights. I like Landau's tone and emphasis and it's easy to read. Best yet, Landau only talks about himself in terms of a mistake he made, and spares us those annoying, indulgent passages where guidebook authors analyze their own writing and how it worked. I recommend it for TV watchers and aspiring TV writers! Practical, readable, and CURRENT!

This book is everything I was hoping it would be when I pre-ordered it, an overview of writing for television that feels up to date with the paradigm shift that's occurred in the past five years with the advent of streaming services and shows optimized for binge-watching.

Covers different tv formats and offers a nice guide through tv-pilot writing traps. Not too deep.
