Andy Serra Research Tools About

Story Structure Visualizer

This tool maps the beats of a screenplay onto a structural circle. To get started, upload a script in the .fountain format. You can download a sample file here.

Enter a keyword to track themes or character arcs across the narrative. You can also zoom, pan, and download the visualization as a printable A3 file.

Currently, this tool only supports three-act structures. On the right, you can change the narrative timing points—hover over them for explanations.

Create your beat file from a pdf here! Causality Story Sequencer app .fountain exports are supported as well.

Each story beat must be on a new line and start with an equals sign '='.
