Some "useless" statistics about your screenplay. Do you have an idea for a chart? Let me know at contact@afterwriting.com!
Who talks with whom (by number of scenes)
Each character is represented by a circle (max. 10 characters). If characters are connected with a line that means they are talking in the same scene. Thicker the line - more scenes together. Hover the mouse cursor over a character circle to see how many dialogues scenes that character have with other characters.
Script Pulse
Short scenes and short action/dialogue blocks bump the tempo up. Long scenes and long blocks set it back.
Scene length
Each bar represent one scene (white bars for day scenes, black bars for night scenes). Hover the mouse cursor over a bar to see estimated time of a scene. You can click on a bar to jump to selected scene in the editor.
Locations breakdown
Blocks on the top strip represent amount of time spent in a location. If a location occurs more than once in the script, it's highlighted by a colour (white colour is used for each location occurring only once).
Pie chart below shows time distribution for each location. Mouse over the blocks to see corresponding data on the pie chart (and vice versa).
Page balance
Shows balance between action time and dialogue time on each page. Click on a page to jump to the editor.
Days and nights
Pie chart representing day vs night scenes breakdown. Hover over sections to see number of day/night scenes.
INT. vs EXT.
Pie chart representing interior vs exterior scenes breakdown. Hover over sections to see number of int/ext scenes.
Settings
You can change configuration here. Some settings (e.g. page size, double space between scenes) may affect statistics which are based on assumption that 1 page = 1 minute of a movie.
