1. Script writing/storyboarding - Before you write the script for your sit-com pilot, there are a few things you need to know and do.
a. Brainstorm - Take notes, create mind-maps, etc to document this process in your Process Journal.
b. Write a plot idea and the basics of an outline of the script. Remember that you are writing a sit-com pilot. Look at your Commedia dell'Arte characters. Who will be whom? What kind of scene will you create? What will the basic story line be? What acting techniques will you use?
c. Develop a relationship map (who's who, and how is everyone related?) This can be a group effort.
