Scenario Writing For The Video Program Timmy’s Days (Sitcom) on IDN Media

Abstract

IDN Media as a consumer technology company operates five main business pillars, one of which is entertainment. IDN Media requires audience involvement by presenting comedy genre entertainment programs. Sitcom programs as a means of entertainment build each episode of their broadcast from narration, gestures, dialogue, punch lines, and editing effects which are elements of humor. This requires an important role from a script writer, namely creating a creative script in screenwriting so that it becomes an interesting story show and makes it easier for the audience to understand the content of the story.

Writing the scenario for Timmy's Days went through three stages, including pre-production, production and post-production. The pre-production stage includes finding ideas, determining the theme, type of story, audience segmentation, setting and plot. The production stage includes characters, synopsis, treatment, scenario. The post-production stage at this stage puts more emphasis on editing the writing and details of the scenes in the story adding detailed information which is usually called beat or parenthetical which contains expressions, gestures and reactions of the characters. This can simplify the process of embodying and character scenes in shooting.
