«Реальные шоу» наподобие «За стеклом», с плохой «картинкой» и «неотстроенным» звуком уже приедаются. Однажды придет день, когда в прямом эфире очередного «шоу» крупным планом покажут смерть – этакий новый виток в истории гладиаторских игрищ и рыцарских турниров... И до того, чтобы одеть насельников «заэкранья» в исторически (не)достоверные костюмы, останется один шаг. Техника недалекого будущего обеспечит в прямом эфире ракурсы и звуковые эффекты, достойные многомиллионного блокбастера. Кабельные сети перенесут сигнал на миллиарды жидкокристаллических экранов. Шоу может продолжаться годами, как телесериал, или завершиться в считанные дни: имеет значение только его рейтинг, «отбивающий» вложенные деньги. А для того, чтобы деньги были вложены, требуется подробный бизнес-план проекта, включающий, в частности, сценарную разработку, каковая и представлена ниже. Форма сценарной разработки традиционно может быть свободной.
