administration for both our resellers and ourselves while providing up to date downloads and promotional
materials in a 24/7 accessible central location." said Dan Bronzite, CEO of Movie Outline
Software. “With the boxed version of Movie Outline now in production for retail it became

with our fulfillment provider.”

14 October, 2007 -- Movie Outline Software is pleased to announce the release of Movie Outline 3.0, an innovative screenplay development application for step-outlining, character development and screenplay formatting.
Product Development Strategy
“Our intention right from the beginning of our development cycle was to take as much time as necessary to create a powerful application that fulfilled the screenwriter's needs on every level.” said Daniel Bronzite, CEO of Movie Outline Software. “In its first incarnation, Movie Outline was simply a step-outliner that enabled the writer to plan their story by combining scenes into key events. With the release of version 2.0 we took a major step forward by adding the ability to structure your story into color-coded Acts. Now with version 3.0 you can create character profiles and arcs, organize your story using virtual drag and drop index cards and write a full screenplay which is automatically formatted to the industry standard layout as you type. It really is the ultimate screenwriter’s tool.”
Product Launch
Movie Outline 3.0 will be officially launched at the Screenwriting Expo in Los Angeles which will be taking place at the Marriott and Renaissance Hotels, October 25-28 2007.

POWERVIEW
PowerView enables you to view your story structure in a customizable color-coded visual
manner alongside your selected Reference Outline.
Your structure is divided into five main sections: Prologue, Act I, Act II, Act III and
Denouement, and within Act II there are two Turning Points and the story's Mid-Point.
Each stage has its own popup window explaining what it represents and what should be
happening in your story at that point.
You can customize the colors for each stage and adjust the scene start points to reflect the
structure of your own story, however the Reference Plugin structure is independent of your
own in order to help you visually gauge the progress of your story in comparison to your s
elected movie outline.
With a single click you can expand and collapse the entire outline or individual scenes to
reveal or hide scene information, adjust the displayed font, text size and window size to suit
your needs and all your settings will automatically be saved for the next time you launch
Movie Outline and PowerView.
SMARTSEARCH
SmartSearch enables you to keep track of a character, story development, plot device, keyword or
phrase through your entire outline in a practical, visual manner.
Simply enter the character name or word you wish to track, such as "John" or "gun", in
the SmartSearch window, or select a word in the main outline screen and choose SmartSearch from
the new right-click Contextual Menu, and you will instantly see a small blue arrow icon appear
beside the title of every scene that includes this text, and the line that contains the searched
word will be highlighted in red.
You can also independently track words in your currently loaded Reference Outline and both user
and reference words will be stored in memory each time you access PowerView.
HTML EXPORT & INTEGRATED VIEWER
As well as being able to print and export your outlines to plain text files, rich text files and
PDF documents, Movie Outline 2.0 now enables you to export your outline with the current
PowerView structure colors to an HTML web page and then view it via an integrated HTML Viewer.
You can choose to display a Color Key at the top of your web page and export either a full
outline of Titles and Scenes or just a list of Titles. With HTML Export you now have the
option of sharing your color-coded outline on the web or with colleagues!
STORY TASKS
When writing a story, there are always bound to be ideas popping up along the way about c
haracters and plot points, such as: I must remember to make Jessica find the gun in scene 12 or
John should meet Mary before he gets mugged but after his date with Abby. You can't control
when inspiration strikes and that's exactly where Story Tasks come in!
To help you keep track of all those complex character arcs, plot devices and story objectives,
Movie Outline 2.0 now enables you to keep a task list specific to each outline you create.
You can check, uncheck or delete completed tasks and print a full list of task Titles and
Notes or just a list of Titles.

Different genres of movies require different amounts of scenes. Dramas are typically a
round 35-40 scenes because they usually have longer scenes than Thrillers, Comedies and
Action and Adventure movies which are normally around 45 scenes with more action and less dialogue.
To help plan out your project, Movie Outline allows you to simultaneously refer to produced
feature film outline analyses and gauge the progress of your own story in contrast to some of
the most successful Hollywood movies. So if you get stuck on scene 15 and wonder if your
structure is working, simply select your movie Reference Outline and see what happens at the
same time in this example.
By comparing your own character arcs, escalating conflicts, plot points and three act structure
with the pros, you will be able to amend mistakes in your own pacing and successfully produce a
well-structured screen story!

What is Movie Outline?
Movie Outline is an innovative step-outlining application allowing screenwriters to plan the
structure of their screen story before writing the screenplay. It enables simple
story planning with flexible scene reorganization and simultaneous reference to successful
Hollywood movies. By streamlining the creation process of the entire outline structure, Movie
Outline gives the screenwriter the space to think while constructing their story.
How can Movie Outline help me?
Many novice screenwriters make the mistake of jumping into a full screenplay before properly
preparing their story and cinematic structure. This often results in many unnecessary rewrites,
unfocused themes, flawed character arcs and plots that lose direction. That's why
Movie Outline was conceived - to take the complexity out of the outlining process and give you
the space to think and plan your script scene by scene while simultaneously being able to compare
your own story pacing with outlines and analyses of successful movies.
Movie Outline's unique Reference Outline feature gives the Screenwriter the added advantage of assessing
their own structure and story pacing in comparison to successful movies in the same genre. By comparing the development of your own character arcs, escalating conflicts, plot turning
points and three act structure with the pros, you will be able to amend mistakes in your own
narrative pacing and produce a well-structured screen story.
What do the Pros think?
"I've tried various other story planning software but none of them did the trick. Mainly
because they weren't designed specifically for the screenwriting process and it felt as if
they were constructed by mathematicians with over-complicated unuser-friendly interfaces that
only added to the clutter of my mind. All I wanted was a simple way to plan my story structure
and organize my creative thoughts. Movie Outline was the solution." Daniel Bronzite, Screenwriter - Long Time Dead
