Tone: Match the Mood by WritIng for the Tone of a Genre / The Feel
How does a scene from a medical drama make you feel? Anxious, perhaps
Is a Tween Comedy going to be bright and bouncy? Most likely
The Weight
The lightness or heaviness of subject matter and the intensity of the performance needed. Find the balance needed to settle into a genre.
The Style
Down to the dialogue - every show has similar style in their corner of our world. If you start to see a formulaic pattern it is because we as viewers are comfortable with that. Draw in the color and lines these types of programs offer.
