Use StoryO’s built-in topics and questions to help you outline your story. Create your own topics and questions or use the built-in standard topics and questions set. Identify selected questions as “what if” to play around with varied story lines and outcomes.
Each story/project contains a timeline. The timeline can be broken up into segments that can be used as acts, chapters or any “segmented” measurement of time in the story. Each segment then contains sequences (a collection of events) and each sequence contains index cards (the events themselves). StoryO provides a virtual sandbox where you can organize index cards, sequences and segments to make up multiple scenarios for the timeline. Using this methodology, you’ll find it extremely simple to set up paradigms for virtually any type of storytelling. Start from the beginning, middle or end and work any way you wish to organize your ideas.
Enter detailed information for a particular event or piece of the story on an index card. Arrange index cards into various orders within a sequence or move them to a different sequence altogether. Save the different ordered index cards to play around with the storyline. You can also attach characters and pictures to index cards to further identify who, what and where things are happening at that point in the story.
Create characters and enter background information. Attach character images using StoryO’s built-in library of over 50 unique character images or import your own images!
When you’re ready, use the Pitch module to bring together multiple elements from your story to create a visual slide presentation to pitch your project!
