The PCM-EM scheme in use : screenplay writing for TV and web series (theory part and a practical approach)

Abstract

This paper shall be understood as an interdisciplinary attempt to combine mathematics, especially the field of Operations Research, with the dramatic theory and media science. The present document is resumption and further stage of development of the model, published in a research paper with the german title: Das Drama in Analogie zu einem dynamischen Programm. Entwicklung eines Metamodells zur Strukturierung szenischer Handlung. (Doi: 10.18725/OPARU-2410, VTS-71501), deutschen Nationalbibliothek idn: 1016388918 unter http://d-nb.info/1016388918 in 12/16/2009 on the Open Access Repository (former VTS) of the University of Ulm and its english translation: The drama considered as a dynamic program : an analogous comparision and the development of a metamodel to structurize story lines. (Doi: 10.18725/OPARU-9508) published in 06/22/2018. It makes the attempt to use the model, presented in this former paper to try to test the usability of the Bellman model, exactly the Bellman equation adapted to a specialized score value model, also described in this paper. The intention is to get an optimized storyline in screenplay- especially TV and web series development. It should help people involved in these kind of colaborative work, especially ”showrunner” and ”storyliner” to get their work better organized and make the right decisions about structure and content. This paper shows the development of these extension of the primary model and the basic work with it (shown by a simple example). This paper is the english translation of the german paper: Das PCM-EM Schema in der Anwendung, Drehbuchschreiben für Serien (Theoretischer Teil und praktischer Ansatz). DOI: 10.18725/OPARU-7312
