5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended., August 20, 2003
By S Smyth (Belfast, Co Antrim United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
StoryView is a sophisticated layout and organizer application for your thoughts and ideas, a virtual pasteboard, without any of the physical hassle. It is designed to let you work in a fluid yet logical manner, and to think nonlinearly in a straight line - like with a non-linear video editing application, such as Adobe Premier 6.0/5.

It requires little computer experience beyond the basics of word-processing, and any work created can easily be used elsewhere or delivered electronically to a StoryView equipped collaborator, etc. Try doing that with a loaded pasteboard.

Any work can also be printed out and stuck on the wall, if so desired.

The Outline View is very useful, it listing all the events and hierarchies in a single column, which can be added to in the usual cut, copy, and paste fashion for text, and for the addition or deletion of events by right clicking, etc., (in windows), or by way of the menu bar.

The toolbars and toolbar views are very customisable, allowing a lean and mean Outline View display, and a fully loaded Timeline View (F9 repeatedly in Windows to toggle between). These bars are accessible in the same way as with Word 2000, which is a nice touch.

Files can be exported as .RTF and .SCW, but you will either have to have Acrobat or one of the .PDF printer emulators installed to convert to .PDF for use in the Acrobat Reader.

The application comes with a very comprehensive set of .PDF manuals, all fully bookmarked. These can be printed out if you prefer, and they'll look great.

StoryView offers the means for anyone serious about keeping their work organised a simple and effective way to do so, and lets you keep your mind on the job of writing as opposed to time consuming and difficult to maintain card paper and pasteboard systems.

Pairs up nicely with Dramatica 4.0 Pro for the complete structural approach.

5.0 out of 5 stars Estructurar y jerarquizar una narración, September 17, 2003
StoryView 2.0 ha sido muy útil para mi trabajo de guionista y cuentista. Su disposición obliga a plantearse la historia en términos de unidades y fragmentos jerarquizados. Por supuesto, no es una norma o una estrategia creativa dictatorial. Es una herramienta útil y uno puede tomarla o dejarla. En todo caso, es muy valiosa.

Es interesante utilizar StoryView tanto para la creación como para el análisis. Determinado guión de una película que hayas conseguido puedes dividirlo en escenas, secuencias, actos, etc. De manera tal de tener un mapa general de la disposición de la obra.

Si conoces algún modelo narrativo, puedes diseñar una jerarquía y aplicarla -como plantilla- a tu narración, como el de Joseph Campbell/Christopher Vogler, o el tradicional de tres actos de Syd Field. O puedes crear tu propia estructura, que es lo que hago cuando escribo narraciones literarias. Las unidades, se «crean» solos. Capítulos, eventos, secciones, actos, episodios, etc, lo que desees.

Lo interesante es que el software se adapta plenamente a las ideas del escritor, se amolda. Puedes ordenar tu narración en un solo nivel, o bien en varios, como las capas o layers de Photoshop.

Tiene dos vistas, la Outline Window, que se asemeja mucho al "Documento maestro" de Word; y la otra, la TimeLime Window es como la marca de fábrica de Storyview, que es la vista de la disposición de tu narración, en unidades de tiempo, página, minutos, o lo que se desee. Puede importarse y exportarse documentos txt, rtf, en formato Movie Magic Screenwriter y otros.

Lo único que le falta, a mi juicio, es un sistema multiplantilla, en el que uno pueda ajustar o aplicar determinada disposición de estructura a la historia, ejemplo, aplicar el modelo Joseph/Campbell, el tradicional, el de Dramatica, alguno personal, así como cuando uno aplica diversos filtros a una imagen RGB o CMYK, con cierto nivel de "transparencia" o "opacidad". Es decir, tenemos dos coordenadas, 1)tiempo y 2) unidades narrativas. Podría añadirse -opcionalmente, claro- modelos narrativos. De este modo, quedarían cubos tridimensionales, en lugar de rectángulos, lo que daría una mayor flexibilidad creativa a nuestro trabajo. Así como también, incorporar un diagrama de tensión dramática semejante al que posee el Power Structure.

No creo que sea mala idea y espero que la gente de Screenplay Systems o Write Brothers ya haya pensado en algo así para la versión 3.0
