StoryView by Write Brothers

Description

StoryView offers an effective way to plan and present your story ideas. It uses a timeline format that yields a clear, panorama view of your story, and includes many templates and examples. It can be used for screenplays, sitcoms, TV movies, commercials, stage plays, novels, and short stories, as well as live events, presentations, business plans, and historical timelines.

StoryView lets you create the elements of your story and arrange them on a timeline. You see what pieces make up your story, as well as how much time (movies, TV, events) or how many pages (novels, other stories) each piece occupies. Zoom back for a full panorama of your entire story, or zoom in to focus on the smallest detail. Take spontaneous ideas and place them at any point in your story's timeline–even if you don't know what comes before or after that piece. You add the building blocks of your story in any order and immediately see any gaps.

Create virtual index cards that contain unlimited text: items can range from a few words up to hundreds of pages. Story elements are easily manipulated and rearranged, regardless of their length. Visually track almost any kind of information in your story, such as character and thematic development, or plot twists. Print a map of your story: you decide how many pieces of paper you want your story to fit on–from a single sheet to several sheets, depicting the timeline of your entire story. You can even print your story's timeline on a large, continuous sheet of paper using a large format printer (usually available at larger copy centers). StoryView also prints standard reports that show the text of your story in outline or standard text form.
