You’ve got an idea and want to turn it into a story?

You may use the dramatic tools right from the beginning or just write, develop and format your story for now – ‚uninterrupted’ by all the dramaturgy. The dramatic features can be brought in at any time, e.g. during the rewriting and development process.

You already have a script version of your story?

Then you can continue the development of your story with DramaQueen. Simply import your script and use the DramaQueen tools to rewrite your story.

You want to write a script report for a (or someone else’s) script?

Using the smart-import all information regarding scenes, characters and settings is clearly broken down in an overview. DramaQueen will identify single storylines automatically as well as set turning points – within minutes you are provided with a visual analysis of all narrative arcs.

What does an exemplary story development process look like?

The story is roughly sub-divided into story steps/chapters. The outline creates a breakdown of the story. The story steps are further described in the synopsis. The storytelling-guidance is your creative buddy.

Now individual storylines emerge, each developing their own narrative arc. Each storyline receives its own turning points.

The plot becomes more and more specific. Each step is further developed into several scenes, every chapter into bits. Each story step may be provided with specific characteristics and markings.

The writer discovers the structure of her story: for now, she sub-divides it into three acts. Later she can fine-comb it into sequences or the 12 stages of the hero’s journey. Alternatively the writer can apply a specific story-step-model, developed by a scriptwriting teacher, to the story.

The writing begins. DramaQueen takes care of formatting. Scenes become more and more detailed and specific. In the meantime, DramaQueen keeps collecting significant story meta data.

The rewriting process follows the first draft. Storytelling and structure are being put to the test:

On a visual level, you are going to be able to experience, reflect upon and interpret the story’s entire architecture as a chart. The chart and breakdown also serve as a neutral base for story development discussions with producers, dramatic advisors, readers.

Story steps are re-arranged; scenes/bits are cut or moved into the archive. Every storyline is individually worked on in the storyline-mode until the story is ready to be shot.
