Pamela Douglas Bücher

„Mit diesem Handbuch für TV-Serien hat Pamela Douglas Maßstäbe gesetzt“ (Catherine Clinch, Creative Screenwriting Magazine). Serien zählen zu den spannendsten Formaten im Fernsehen, mit Produktionen wie Lost, 24 und Grey’s Anatomy, die mit der gleichen Sorgfalt wie Kinofilme geschrieben und inszeniert werden. Diese Serien fesseln Millionen von Zuschauern und sind entscheidend für das Image und den Gewinn der Sender. Daher sind talentierte Drehbuchautoren sehr gefragt. Pamela Douglas, eine mehrfach ausgezeichnete Drehbuchautorin und Dozentin an der USC School of Cinematic Arts, vermittelt in ihrem Buch wertvolle Erkenntnisse aus ihren Seminaren und ihrer Erfahrung in der Branche. Sie hebt hervor, dass das Schreiben für Serien Teamarbeit erfordert, auch wenn jede Episode von einem einzelnen Autor konzipiert wird. Ein zentrales Kapitel widmet sich der Zusammenarbeit im Team, während ein weiteres die Charakterentwicklung behandelt. Douglas betont, dass Protagonisten in jeder Folge ein Ziel verfolgen und dabei auf Widerstand stoßen müssen, wobei die Motivation ihrer Gegenspieler ebenso stark sein sollte, um die Spannung zu erhöhen. „Wir leben im goldenen Zeitalter der TV-Serien, und Pamela Douglas' Buch ist die beste Informationsquelle für jeden Autor, der in diesem Bereich arbeiten möchte“ (Daniel Petrie, Jr., Präsident der Writers Guild of America und Autor).
