Story Compass

This app is a writer’s utility that guides you through the structure of a screenplay. It consolidates multiple paradigms (structural models) into one cohesive interface for an easy one-to-one comparison of theories. With the timing function you can evaluate films in real time to see how filmmakers execute the turning points of a story in ways that are often missed if you are not looking for it, giving you insights that you can instantly apply to your own storytelling.

- Traditional timelines are configured as “story-wheels” for easy one-to-one comparison of popular screenwriting theories; accessed by swiping left/right on the main screen.

- Set Running-Time of film and watch the beats and transitions of the story play out in real-time as you watch.

- Tap story wheel for study-guide synopsis of each paradigm.

- Dimmer function (movie theater mode) steps down brightness with quick tap on main screen.

- Note entry with Time-Stamps displays elapsed-time stamp in the header. Export notes to other applications.
