The fundamental mantra in making an Indian television serial is so it should be never ending. It has to take till scrapped by the channel producers.
Predicated on observations through the years these guidelines have been listed because so many essential.
The Storyline: As we've already mentioned the must mantra above the storyline should ideally have maximum elasticity. Means the storyline has to be structured in such a way so it can go on endlessly taking in new angles or triangles or developments or shock treatment or altruistic twists or directorial wish and so it should not get caught with a dead end. You only cannot afford to aim at a most logical end, because you have to aim at earning the maximum revenues possible-both for you personally and the TV channel. If revenues are located to be dipping the channel producers will automatically and abruptly end it. This does not signify the storyline ends there.
The Characters: Following as a corollary from the aforementioned the characters of your serial must be immense in numbers and stupendous in characterization. Mostly huge joint families are preferred with distant relatives thrown in as and when necessary. Please don't set any limits on the varied couple you can produce ranging from the granddad-grandma someone to the great grand son or daughter vs. great grand in-law couples, if possible. You have to likewise have a wealthy reserve of dormant characters just to create them alive and kicking as per the twist-wish necessity. And, also for the dreadful eventuality of the serial inevitably heading for a most logical end you are able to just withdraw from the reserve and manhandle it to the constant track again. Say no to the frowns and scowls of the channel producers. Always.
The Location: You have no choice here because of the aforementioned conditions. You have to always have a huge posh bungalow with a gigantic hall and inner staircases resulting in the galleries and rooms above. This requirement is irrespective of whether your serial is urban or rural based and perhaps the protagonist is a software billionaire or a down seriously to earth cultivator. You have to understand, you'll need the space to move your abundant level of characters around and showcase their emotions. You will need the demonic hall, because during a remarkable moment you have to make all your characters there and go on taking their reaction close ups endlessly with the cameras doing go-rounds or vertical assaults.
Before we move ahead to other crucial guidelines let us have a break. We do so in sympathetic acknowledgement of the nut breaking importance of breaks for a serial.
