Commissioning process for writing for television and video
There are many aspects to the commissioning process, there is the actual commissioning, commissioning bodies, and the role of the writer. In commissioning there are various different job roles, there is the commissioning editor. The commissioning editor is a senior employee of the main broadcaster in a production, they are responsible for choosing programme ideas which they believe are good enough to be aired. They then allocate a budget to the companies which have thought of the idea so that it can be produced http://www.creativeskillset.org/tv/article_3485_1.asp. They will also usually work in a specific genre of the media industry, this might vary from drama's to entertainment programmes. They will overlook a production once they have given the company the money to make it. The producer also works in this area. They are in charge and oversee everything that happens in the specific media field they are in. They deal with things that the director does not, these are things such as finance, legal, administration, marketing and personnel. They guide a project from start to finish, setting it up, financing it and getting all the appropriate talent to make it successful. The director is the person who takes the idea which has been chosen and transforms it into a sequence of moving images and sounds, they oversee everything everyone else is doing on the production such as the camera operators, editors and directors of photography to make sure they are completing everything the way the director wants it. The script editors are the people in the production who make adjustments and amendments to scripts which have been sent in as an idea for a television programme. They have to make sure it is viable to be passed, and therefore used in a production. They make sure it isn't too similar to other texts, and usually try to keep it sounding ridiculous and unrealistic. An agent is the person who will represent you. They are the people who will showcase your ideas and have the same goals as you. It is extremely important that if you have an agent you're comfortable and confident you have similar interests. The writers job role is to think of all the new storylines to keep the programme interesting, e.g. the writers of soaps such as Eastenders and Coronation Street have to do this. An example of a storyline in Eastenders is 'who killed in Archie Mitchell?' and a storyline is Coronation Street is the tram crash. They think of the speech they're going to use, the characters they need involved in each scene, and how the situations in each episode will shape the series/story. They hire the directors for their story and work closely with them as each episode is made.
Getting commissioned is very difficult, major corporations such as the BBC give opportunities to get your work seen and used through their site, 'BBC Writers Room'. There are other commissioning bodies, like independant prodcuction companies. Theres a higher chance of getting commissioned by them as it isn't only cheaper for you, but it's cheaper for the company to employ you. Being an independent director or producer is an easier way to get your work produced as you have all the power, and don't have to be influenced by any elses opinions, it is completely individual. However the problem with this is being able to afford to get it produced. Organisations are also on offer to help new and upcoming screenwriters and those who assist them. They do not offer financial support but they exist to give advice on how to improve your script to get it recognised and seen. An example of an organisation who does this is like mentioned before, BBC Writers Room, ITV are another example of a commissioning body. Finally, the other way in which you can get your work identified is by entering your scripts into competitions. America and Britain are countries which do this, and once again the BBC have a competitions running continuously throughout the year to try aid screenwriters into getting recognition. The prize if you win is usually that of a financial nature.
The role of a writer throughout a production is very important, they are there from pre-production to the post production stage. In the planning stage they are the ones who think of all the storylines and plots, which has been said earlier. They edit the scripts to how they want the production to come across as they are ultimately the ones who have the vision of what they want their programme or film to be shown as. They have almost constant involvement with the directors and producers because they have to make sure what they have filmed and the talent which has been brought in reflects and portrays what the writer has thought of. Once the writer is happy that the script is good enough to be filmed, a page lock-down will occur. This means there can be no more edits or re-writes, it is basically when filming begins. The writer can however have his/her input during the filming stage though if they feel a scene is in need of adjustment. However, having a producers or directors input in the shooting of a script can have both positive an negative effects, the positives being they can add more ideas to improve the screenplay, and the nagatives being they might change to much causing friction between the writers and the directors.
When working as a writer, agent representation is vital. If you have an agent it is usually better because it looks a whole lot more professional and it can also be incredibly beneficial as they may have contacts which can make getting your work recognised a whole lot quicker. You also have to deal with royalty payments, this is more common in music videos, it means that everytime it gets shown it is you who retrieves the money from it. As a writer you also have to distinguish the difference between working by yourself and actually working within the work environment, and show professional presentation. So if you were to pitch your work, you have to make sure you're a punctual and speak in good english. You also have to come dressed smartly to show you are making the effort to impress. The layout of your work is also imporant, especially if you're a writer, you have to make sure your work has no spelling mistakes, and that the script flows. Time management can be a problem for writers, as any job has to have it, however this particular one isn't set with a 'start and finish' time. This is because most writers work as freelancers and they work on their own time. They do have to consider legal and ethical considerations when they produce their productions though, they obviously cannot break copyright laws and they aren't allowed to be bias they're allowed to make a point, but they have to be certain what they're including is actual facts and avoid getting faced with problems if they're found to be mis-representing someone/something and causing defamation. They have to make sure they have the appropriate censorship in place if it does have some offensive material before and in some cases after the 9pm watershed. This is a job also for the BBFC. Ofcom also offer protection as they make sure that television broadcasters are in compliance with all the rules involving the watershed because it is their responsibilty that anyone under the age of 18 are protected from any offensive material. http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/binaries/broadcast/guidance/831193/watershed-on-tv.pdf They have to be aware of libel problems as well, like said before if they have written clear defamation of a person, they could face a lot of bother. Finally, they must make sure none of their material has been used before, as it could mean that could be hit with trouble in terms of plagerism, this has happened before with the film Clonus and The Island. Director Robert S. Fiveson brought a copyright infringement suit against the makers of The Island (2005). The lawsuit cited 89 points of similarity between "Clonus" and "The Island", and the court ruled that Fiveson made a prima facie case for infringement. Before the case could go to trial, Dreamworks settled with the plaintiffs for an undisclosed amount. It's been rumored that it was a seven-figure sum.http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/Clonus?from=Main.Clonus

Researching materials for your script
Background Material:
Published Scripts:
I found and gathered information on already published scripts through secondary research, and in this case it was looking at websites such as the BBC Writers Room, Wikipedia and IMDb.
ITV drama 'The Children' (David Evans, 2008) is a three part drama that was broadcasted in 2008. It follows the storyline of a families young daughter being murdered. It shows her siblings and parents perception of her in flashbacks before it shows the culprit to be her fathers ex-wife.
BBC drama 'My Murder' (Levi David Addai, 2012) is a TV movie, that was aired in 2012. The programme opens in silence with only ambient sounds and the noise of silent breathing present, before it shows Shakilus Townsend laying bleeding on the ground. Like The Children, it then travels back in time to show us the events which will eventually culminate in Shakilus' death. It turns out the girl he was in love with already had another boyfriend Danny McLean, who was a violent gang member, and when he finds out what's been going on he orders his girlfriend Samantha Joseph to trick Shakilus into crossing paths with him and his gang, and it ends with the teenagers brutal death.
Factual Information:
I gathered my factual information through secondary sources such as the television and newspapers. As my screenplay is ultimately about violence at home it can relate to a lot of factual information. New stories which can relate to my own storyline are that of Baby P. He was young toddler who was continuously the victim of physical abuse from his parents.
A poll by the NSPCC and YouGov shows that less than one in five (17 per cent) would report concerns as soon as they arose.
Opinion:
My drama is very relatable to the public as it is a realistic storyline and anyone could be involved in any sort of scrap with their family. Its all to do with family life and growing up, and there are bound to be differences in opinion. I could get peoples opinions from this by devising a questionnaire asking whether they think having high pressure jobs implicate on attitudes towards family, and whether they've ever had fights and falling outs with their families.
Speculation:
I researched secondary information for the NSPCC through the internet and looking on their website. As of the issue I've raised from my drama, it promotes certain charities like the NSPCC's cause to try and stop abuse involving children. On their websites it says "A poll by the NSPCC and YouGov shows that less than one in five (17 per cent) would report concerns as soon as they arose". This can lead us to speculate about the people who do not report their abuse, and how many more victims there are because of this.
Existing Material:
I took inspiration for my own screenplay through watching programmes such as The Children which I have said about previously in this blog. I liked:

Screenplay Essay
There are many reasons why you might want to produce a script proposal, this could be that you have an excellent idea for a one off movie, or perhaps you have the basis of a script which could be formed into a series. These usually happen with fictional entertainment programmes like dramas and comedies, and you can usually find this genre of programmes on channels such as ITV and the BBC.
When I finish my own script proposal I intend to present my ideas through both a written report to show my understanding of the requirements in more detail, and through an oral presentation to show others verbally what my general idea and overview for a script is going to be.
The title I have chosen for my drama is The Family. I decided to call it this central narrative is about one family and the struggles they face because of disagreements within the group. It is also short and directly tells the viewers what the drama is going to revolve around.
For my script I intend the genre of it to be a drama. It is going to be based around the death of a teenage male within a 'close' family, and viewers will know from the off that it is someone in his own family which commits the murder. Throughout the programme we learn more about each character and how their relationship with the victim changes the watchers perspective of 'whodunnit'. The 'whodunnit' element is the unique selling point of my drama as it enables me as the writer to throw in twists to make the programme more interesting. The target audience for my script proposal is going to middle and working class citizens, both male and female between the ages of 25-50. I have chosen this target audience because people who are in those age brackets are more likely to be interested in dramas. The 'story' of my script begins with the murder, however we do not get a clear view of the killer so it leaves us asking questions about how it could be. After these opening scenes it goes back in time to show you (as I said above) the victims relationship with everyone in his family.
The product is going to be set over about 3 episodes, over 3 weeks so it in a sense is a mini series as its storyline is too long to be considered a single.
The intention of my product is to raise awareness of violence at home. I want to promote the fact its not just adults that receive domestic abuse, but also children and teenagers. I would display this at the end of the programme, with an advice line just incase any of the viewers have themselves been affected or someone they know by the storyline.
My product isn't high concept as it isn't in the same format of your regular drama. It is going to be more of a realist drama as I want to be able to relate to normal day-to-day life.
I will try to communicate with my target audience through the language my characters use and what the characters every day life is like. I will use typical English, neither posh and upper class or street slang, it will be how common everyday people speak. I have chosen to use this kind of language so the viewers can connect easier with the drama. The characters in my screenplay will also live in a suburban area on the outskirts of London and go to school and work like a typical family would. This would also help my audience get into the drama as they would have a similar lifestyle.
The characters in my screenplay will be a mother and father Lucy and David Sharp who are both in their mid 40's, their role in the narrative is similar as they both want to keep their family as close as possible but lifestyle of one of their twin sons makes this near impossible. The twins will be 18 and the role of the first son, Michael Sharp is to be a rebel, he does not want to told how to do things by his family, he wants make his own choices, leaving them very irritated and this includes the other twin Harry. His role is to try and change the way of his brother, but his controlling nature leads to the Michael distancing himself even more from his family. Their are two close friends of the family, Tom Ashcroft, and Liam Brown from the fathers work, they are aged 35 and 40. Their role is to support the parents, when they are asked for suggestions on how to manipulate the sons attitude. However even with their help the son still wants to be independent. The controlling nature of the family and friends, mixed with the Michael's own rebellious nature culminates in an angry encounter with the son and one of the other characters leading to the accidental death of the twin, but who does it?
Screenplay Synopsis
At the beginning of the screenplay it opens up with a scene of the murder of Michael. You see him falling backwards as if hit or accidentally pushed whilst in his room. He lands, smashing his head against the corner of his desktop, killing him instantly. During this course of events you do not see who is responsible and the culprit quickly flees the scene. After this the drama travels backwards in time and shows you Michael's relationship with his family and the family's close friends. Its clear to see he goes against their wishes and in the middle of the drama you see tempers rising because his parents David and Lucy and their friends Liam and Tom are continuously giving their opinions on how they think he should go about things, including what university he should go to and other new things. This constant harassment gets to much and reacts angrily by completely dismissing their suggestions before storming out, and even after all that even his brother Harry tries to persuade him to change forcing Michael to move out and stay with his friends for a couple of days. This leads into the final scenes, which show Michael returning to the house and collecting things from his room. It shows versions of the different characters killing him after another angry argument, showing us them all lashing out at the twin, which keeps us wondering which could it be? Its only until the final scene that we see his brother, running from the house and driving off with no intention of returning. This then flashes back to what actually happened, which shows the brothers arguing before Harry grabs his brother in anger, however, he accidentally knocks Michael off balance as he trips over the leg of a chair, sending him over and against the desktop. In fear he will get the blame, Harry leaves, leaving only a note in the kitchen downstairs which simply reads "I'm sorry".

Screenplay Research
“At writersroom, the most important thing is our relationship with writers - and our ability, no matter how long it takes, to help them get their work commissioned and made”.[2]
At the BBC writersroom, they are looking for “those who want to write, who have an idea that is itching to get out, and who would like a guide or structure to help them take it from idea right through to a first draft”[3].
From the TV listings above, it shows that drama’s such as Merlin and Eastenders usually screen at around 8pm in the evening. It has competition from other channels such as ITV with shows like Coronation Street and Downton Abbey.
