Mounting Televisions Safely

Many people are getting tired of having a big entertainment stand taking up space in their living room holding the TV. This could take up space and give your living room a condensed look and feel. If you are looking to add space to your room and get rid of the entertainment stand, think of mounting your television to the wall. Many new flat screen TVs have a bracket that you can purchase that will allow you to attach them to the wall. Be careful because improper installation can send your new TV crashing to the floor. Here are some tips that will help you mount your television to the wall safely and allow you to have more space in your living room.

Before you decide to purchase the mounting brackets, look at the back of your LCD flat screen TV to make sure you can connect it to the wall via that method.

There are wall mounts that can even handle the old style sets that will let them be mounted on the wall. Careful observation will determine which style you need to attach your model to the wall in your home.

The past decade has seen the shift of entertainment from regular television sets to online streaming apps – our very own Catch-Up TV. This move has changed the way we view TV shows by providing unlimited access to all our entertainment needs.

Say No To Download Or Recording:
Cloud streaming has made possible to view all your favourite shows for either free with some apps or for one small monthly subscription fee in others. So, the need to have a recorded copy or digitally downloaded copy of everything has shifted to cloud streaming, solving the problem of limited local storage.

The Rise Of “Cord-Cutters”:
Cloud Streaming Apps have brought in a new trend in media consumption with tech companies trying to attract the millions of “cord-cutters”. The new generation has done away with cable for services that stream live TV channels over the internet.

Catch-Up TV Services:
Catch-Up TV services allow you to watch TV programs after their broadcast on air, without actually recording or downloading the program. Over the years Catch-Up quality has evolved and currently, 60% of the programs broadcasted on the free national channels are available for replay.

Writing a television screenplay can be a difficult process if you have had no training in the past. Lot’s of beginner screenwriters have no idea where to start or take their ideas, there is nothing wrong with this as long as you make sure you learn before you start writing. The industry nowadays is very strict when accepting screenplays and there are certain rules you must follow. In this article I’ll give you my top five tips for writing a television screenplay.

1. How Many Characters Do I Need?

Most television screenplays have about three different main characters.. Though this can greatly vary. For your first television screenplay I wouldn’t have any more than two or three main characters.

2. Do I Need More Than One Plot?

A television series will have multiple plots feeding into a main plot. Every plot should somehow be connected to the main plot that drives the story.

3. How Should My Script Be Structured?

The structure of a television episode is the same as a feature film. It should have three acts, the beginning, middle and end with turning points throughout. Obviously the difference is that you don’t conclude the entire series and the episode must somehow continue to the next.

4. How Long Should My Script Be?

When it comes to screenwriting each page is roughly one minute. Some television shows will have to fill a half hour slot and some an hour. Sometimes even more than that if it’s a two part … Continue Reading ...
