What This Tool Measures
Scores every scene as a mixture of 18 audience emotions (Plutchik-rooted) with pacing and textual evidence, then maps the script-wide palette, emotional arc, genre fingerprint, and drift.
Methodology
- Segment script into scene units.
- Score each scene as an intensity mixture over 18 audience emotions, with pacing and cues.
- Classify the emotional arc and match the palette against genre conventions.
- Flag scenes whose emotion drifts from the established genre.
Key Terms
- Audience emotion
- What the reader or viewer feels during a scene — distinct from what the characters feel. A calm scene can make the audience feel dread.
- Emotion mixture
- A scene rarely carries one emotion; it is scored as a weighted blend (e.g. 70 tension + 40 longing).
- Genre fingerprint
- The genre implied by the script’s emotional palette, which may differ from the genre on the title page.
- Genre drift
- A scene whose dominant emotion contradicts the established genre contract — a comedy beat inside a slow-burn horror.
