This project aims to develop new technologies to aid the development of scripts and screenplays for screenwriters. A lot of traditionally desktop applications have an online equivalent now, from Google Docs which simulates a lot of the Microsoft Office functionality to Pixlr which does photo editing online and for free. Social networking applications have become more popular, and the ability to broadcast yourself and your ideas is a huge part of the internet. This project will allow screenwriters to create and share their ideas with everyone like never before.
The first stage of this is creating an online storage solution for projects, that can do all of the things required by the screenwriter. Starting with version control and security, to multiple writers and scripts per project, this storage solution is the most important part of any online application. The software that interacts with it can change and be updated, but a well thought out storage solution makes development easier.
Saving a screenplay project to a single file is a difficult process. A lot of applications will save to a proprietary format, and have to export the script to a tabbed TXT file or a RTF file. Either way, when going between two applications, errors can occur and the format can be lost. The creation of a new file type that has rules, includes all resources and information about the project and can still be shared and emailed without any loss of formatting or information is a major part of this project.
The final part is to design and create various applications which can interact with the stored information.
