Power dynamics, inclusion, trust and leadership in TV script development
The television writers’ room is a major site of screen production that brings writers together for funded periods of development for series ideas with potential, and the script development processes for series in production. Maloney and Burne have described Australian television writers’ rooms as, ‘a place where story developers, script editors, script writers and script producers gather to create stories, devise character arcs and plot episodes’…
Not getting your story straight
As with many popular texts promising templates for successful storytelling, The Writer's Journey claims that a singular story structure applies to all voices and circumstances, therefore funnelling every character journey into a 'universal neutral'. This article offers queer temporality as a lens through which to unravel the 12 steps of Vogler's hero's journey, informed by queer theory's critiques of the 8 steps of the heteronormative life journe…
One for the team
Drawing on interviews from industry professionals, this article explores both the collaborative and, less documented, individual manifestations of script development. Researchers have noted that within screenwriting and screen production, script development practices and processes defy definition over various modes, media, global contexts and production cultures. This article argues that part of this flux is the ways in which individual pursuits …
Manifesto as method for a queer screen production practice
The authors reflect on creating a collaborative creative work that was developed both with, and as, a manifesto. Using queer theory as a framework, the authors track the process of developing and deploying a 14-step manifesto and outline their aims for queering screen production through creative practice. The project applies Baker’s (2011) call for a queer-ing of practice-led research, enacting a performative bricolage with a focus on queer scree…
‘Just ask “what if?” and go from there’
This article investigates, through interviews, the script development processes of four female-identifying web series creators, contributing to scholarship around web series’ ability to serve diverse communities [Christian 2020. “Beyond Branding: The Value of Intersectionality on Streaming TV Channels.” Television & New Media 21 (5): 457–474; 2011. “Fandom as Industrial Response: Producing Identity in an Independent Web Series.” TWC – Transformat…
The Palgrave Handbook of Incarceration in Popular Culture
Telling stories to make it in Hollywood
In 2015, writer, comedian and actor Rebel Wilson was at the centre of an exposé, courtesy of what she called ‘the shady Australian press’. Thrown into question were her birth name, age, upbringing and education – and, curiously, her authentic funniness, as if this too could be retracted retrospectively despite scene stealing turns in Hollywood comedies. In light of Wilson’s vindication, due to a clear win in her 2017 defamation case against Bauer…
Text and the city
Much has been written about screen cities, and within this literature it is suggested that the city itself becomes screen language with its light, colour, and architecture. But there are fewer, if any, scholarly explorations on the practice of screenwriting the city, whereby this language must first be realised in words. Moreover, traditional screenwriting models emphasise the importance of plot, but not necessarily the creation of those worlds i…
