Script Formatting

Storyboard AI adheres to standard screenplay formatting to ensure compatibility and readability.

Elements

• Scene Heading (Slugline): Always in UPPERCASE. Indicates location (INT./EXT.) and time (DAY/NIGHT).
• Action: Describes what is seen. Present tense.
• Character: Name of the speaker, centered, UPPERCASE.
• Dialogue: The spoken words, centered under the character name.
• Parenthetical: Brief direction for the actor, e.g., (whispering), placed between Character and Dialogue.

Why Format Matters

The AI parses this format to understand:

• Who is in the shot (Character names).
• Where the shot is (Scene Headings).
• What is happening (Action lines).

Breaking the format might confuse the AI when generating shots.
