Drop the Pilot – Ryan Bandong

Title: Pilot has been dropped

Drop the Pilot, was a studio which consisted students to re-create a writers room environment as well as to create and develop a tv show from scratch. Throughout the semester I worked on and contributed to many things, leading to the outcome of the show. I created and worked on character posters to present visuals, as well as a script for the final assignment.

I was able to create a somewhat accurate representation of the character posters because as a class, we were able to give these characters dimensions which are different from each other. But what also helped me in creating these posters were suggesting similar archetypes of these characters from other shows. Even the background I thought was very fitting, because in the pilot episode, Josh drives towards Barrel and almost hits a Koala and him driving towards Barrel I just imagine a big straight empty road like this one.

Overall, I was able to gain an insight of a writer’s room as well as it’s process in making a show and episode from scratch. I was able to gain more collaborative and communication skills which will be helpful to me in the future in the field of media. I also learnt how to using screen writing software and the terminologies related to screen writing.
