When pitching a new TV series or film, you need to be able to describe your idea in a brief way
that the producers or industry executives will understand. As we’ve discussed in class, two
commonly used elements of a pitch are the log line and the “it’s like” sentence.
For this assignment, you will practice creating these elements of a pitch. You will also be
studying a few lines of the script.
First, use the first episode of the Killing Eve TV series (season 1) that we watched and do the
following:
A. Write a new log line that describes the TV episode; include all of the elements discussed
in class. Don’t use the existing log line written for AMC+ or on IMDB (approx. 25 words)
B. Write an “it’s like” sentence that conveys the genre and tone of Killing Eve by
referencing similar TV series or films, using one of the formulas described in class.
(approx. 25 words)
Second, write a short paragraph that analyzes two lines of dialogue from the same
episode of Killing Eve. In your discussion of these lines, which could come from two
different characters, talk about what the dialogue conveys about the character’s
personality and attitudes or goals. This paragraph should be about 100 words.
Overall, your assignment should be approximately 150 words.
Use full sentences, proper grammar, and a formal tone (no colloquial language, no
I/me/my/our/your, etc.). Use only .doc, .docx, or Blackboard text-submission formats; no
.pdf, Google Docs or .pages.
