By creating an account you confirm you are 18 years of age or older and agree to our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Content Policy.

SceneOne accepts all genres and mature themes. Content involving minors sexually, instructions for real-world harm, or targeted harassment of real individuals is strictly prohibited.

Your first script analysis is always free.
Step 1 of 6 · How SceneOne gives feedback
We use the same framework Hollywood uses.
SceneOne grades your script against Save the Cat — the screenwriting methodology by Blake Snyder that Hollywood development executives have used for over 20 years. It maps out the key moments every successful film hits, at specific page numbers.

"We're not making up rules. We're checking your script against the same blueprint that Whiplash, Get Out, and The Dark Knight all follow — whether their writers knew it or not."

We look at five things: Structure (right moments at the right pages?), Conflict (is opposition strong enough?), Dialogue (does it carry subtext?), Pacing (does momentum hold?), and Visual Storytelling (showing, not just telling?).
Step 2 of 6 · How feedback is written
Every note is written in plain English. No film school required.
You don't need to know what a "midpoint" or "inciting incident" means. Every note is written the way a good mentor explains things — using lines from your script as examples, with page numbers, and a clear reason why it matters.

"Not: 'Your Act Two midpoint lacks thematic resonance.' But: 'Around page 55, three scenes in a row show your main character hesitating without anything new happening. Here's how to fix it.'"

Step 3 of 6 · You always have the final word
SceneOne gives notes.
You decide what to keep.
SceneOne identifies things that might be unintentional problems. But you're the writer — some of those things are deliberate. Every note has a "Creative Choice" button.

"Tap Creative Choice on anything intentional. SceneOne logs it, respects it, and never raises it again. Your score won't drop for it — we don't penalize deliberate decisions."

Breaking a rule on purpose is a craft decision. Breaking it without knowing is something to fix. Only you know which one it is. SceneOne works for you — not the other way around.
Step 4 of 6 · Fix It inline
Don't just read the note. Fix the scene right here.
Every flagged note has a Fix It button. Tap it and a small editor opens showing just that scene. Rewrite whatever needs work, hit Re-Analyze, and your score updates in seconds. No re-uploading your whole script.

"Think of it like tracked changes — but the AI reads your revision immediately and tells you if it worked."

Step 5 of 6 · We help you pitch it too
Knowing your script is good is one thing. Being able to explain it is another.
SceneOne gives you two tools to help pitch your script to anyone:
Sample Logline
"A burned-out investigator on one last case discovers the only person who can clear her name is the one person who wants her to fail."
One sentence built from your script. Use it, adjust it, make it yours.
Story DNA
Your script reads as 40% Whiplash · 35% Black Swan · 25% Nightcrawler
When someone asks what your movie is like — now you have an answer.
Step 6 of 6 · You're ready
One last thing before you upload.
Your first analysis takes 2–4 minutes. That's not a bug — good coverage takes time. Even ours. While you wait, SceneOne reads your full script once and builds a map of it. Every re-analysis after that is near-instant because the hard work is already done.

"Upload the same script again and you get your results instantly — we remember it. You'll never wait the full time twice."

AI-Powered Script Feedback
Democratizing Hollywood, one script at a time.
The $100 script feedback fee (what Hollywood charges to read and grade your script) has kept talented writers out of Hollywood for decades. SceneOne ends that. Free, evidence-based feedback for every writer — graded against the same framework Hollywood uses.

Act One break lands on page 15 — character-driven and plot-essential simultaneously.

p.15
⚠ Needs Work

Midpoint (p.55) resets the protagonist's goal rather than raising stakes.

p.55
🔧 Fix It

At p.55, have the antagonist take something that makes the original plan physically impossible — force reinvention, not reconsideration.

📄 Evidence
"SARAH stares at the empty desk. She picks up the folder — already empty."

✅ Working

Internal conflict between ambition and loyalty is present and felt. The mentor relationship creates genuine tension.

pp.20–80
⚠ Needs Work

The antagonist is reactive, not active. Compelling villains pursue goals that exist independently of the hero.

pp.30–70
🔧 Fix It

Give Marcus one scene in early Act 2 where we see him pursuing his goal without Sarah present. Stakes become real when the villain doesn't need the hero to have a plan.

✓ Logged as a creative decision. Score unchanged.

The exchange on p.62 — the argument is never about what the characters say it's about. Subtext does all the work.

Character voices clearly differentiated. Sarah speaks in incomplete sentences under pressure; Marcus always completes his thoughts.

✅ Working

Act One moves at exactly the right pace — setup, stakes, and disruption land efficiently.

pp.1–25
⚠ Needs Work

Pages 34–51 lose momentum. Three consecutive scenes establish the same beat — protagonist hesitation — without escalating.

pp.34–51
🔧 Fix It

Collapse scenes 4, 5, and 6 into one strong scene that shows hesitation AND forces a decision. The reader doesn't need to see Sarah doubt three times. They need to see her choose once.

✅ Motif

The recurring empty chair — opening and closing — works as genuine visual callback without announcing itself.

pp.1, 94
⚠ Over-explained

Several scenes rely on dialogue to convey emotional state when action could do the same work.

pp.28, 44, 67
🔧 Fix It

On p.28 show her checking the lock twice instead of saying she's scared. On p.44 show her touching the watch instead of mentioning her father. Let objects carry emotion.

Before you see your report
A few things you should know.
SceneOne is an AI-powered craft analysis tool. Please read and acknowledge the following before accessing your script feedback report.
What SceneOne is: An automated tool that evaluates screenplay craft against documented methodology. All analysis is AI-generated. No human reads your script.

What SceneOne is not: A guarantee of industry acceptance. A "Submission Ready" designation means your craft elements are strong — not that your script will be accepted, optioned, or produced by anyone.

Your creative authority: Every note is a suggestion. Use the Creative Choice button on anything intentional. Your score will not drop for deliberate decisions. You always have the final word on your writing.

Your logline and Story DNA: AI-generated suggestions only. Edit them freely — they belong to you entirely. SceneOne claims zero ownership of any output derived from your script.

Data retention: Your script file will be automatically deleted after 7 days (Free), 30 days (Pro), or 60 days (Pro Unlimited). Your report is yours to keep and export anytime.

You must be 18 or older to use SceneOne. Prohibited content includes any sexual depiction of minors and content designed to facilitate real-world harm.

Governing law: California, United States.

What SceneOne Is

SceneOne is an automated AI analysis platform. All script analysis, scoring, feedback, logline generation, and Story DNA output is generated by artificial intelligence without human review. No human at SceneOne reads your script in the ordinary course of business.

Age Requirement

You must be 18 years of age or older to use SceneOne. By using the platform you confirm this.

You Own Everything

You retain full ownership of all scripts you upload. SceneOne claims zero ownership of your work or any AI-generated output derived from it — including loglines and Story DNA. All generated content belongs entirely to you.

Loglines and Story DNA Are Suggestions

Sample loglines and Story DNA generated from your script are starting points, not definitive descriptions. You may edit, rewrite, or entirely replace them. They are yours.

Verdict Language

"Submission Ready" and all other status designations are craft assessments only. They are not guarantees of commercial viability, industry interest, or acceptance by any reader, agent, manager, producer, or studio. SceneOne is not liable for any outcome following submission.

Creative Choice — No Score Penalty

Every flagged note has a Creative Choice button. Marking something as intentional logs it permanently, removes it from future analysis, and does not reduce your score. You always have the final word on your writing.

No AI Training on Your Scripts

SceneOne does not use your uploaded scripts to train, fine-tune, or improve its AI models without your explicit written consent obtained separately.

Limitation of Liability

SceneOne is not liable for script rejection, idea theft claims, disputes with readers, data loss within the retention policy, or any decision you make based on SceneOne's analysis. Total liability is capped at amounts paid to SceneOne in the prior 12 months.

Governing Law

California, United States. Disputes resolved through binding arbitration in Los Angeles County.

Full legal documentation available at legal@sceneone.app

Data is processed in the United States. EU/UK users: SceneOne operates under GDPR principles. Contact privacy@sceneone.app to exercise rights of access, correction, or deletion.

SceneOne's Approach

SceneOne supports all genres including dark, violent, mature, and provocative content. The threshold for prohibition is not discomfort — it is harm.

The test: could this script be produced by a legitimate studio? If yes, it's permitted. If no legitimate studio would touch it under any circumstances — not because it's edgy, but because it crosses into actual illegality — it's prohibited.

Permitted

  • Violence including graphic violence, war, crime, and trauma
  • Sexual content between consenting adult characters
  • Drug use, addiction, mental illness
  • Morally complex or villainous protagonists
  • Extremist characters within a narrative context
  • Horror, exploitation, and mature genre content

Prohibited — Zero Tolerance

  • Any sexual content depicting or implying minors, regardless of fictional framing
  • Detailed real-world instructions for mass harm embedded in fictional framing
  • Targeted harassment, doxxing, or threats against specific real private individuals
  • Content designed solely to incite real-world violence with no narrative purpose

Prohibited content results in immediate account termination and reporting to authorities where legally required. Report violations to report@sceneone.app.

What the Discovery Dashboard Is

An opt-in feature allowing writers to make their logline and Story DNA visible to verified industry readers. Listing is entirely optional — all scripts are private by default.

Writer Controls

  • You control visibility: fully private, logline only, open to verified readers, or company whitelist
  • Reader access requests require your approval within 72 hours — no response = auto-decline
  • Approved access expires automatically after 14 days
  • You may decline any request for any reason

Contact Preference

Writers choose how readers contact them: through SceneOne's platform messaging, or via a personal email address you provide. Your contact information is only shared with a reader after you explicitly approve their access request.

Reader Verification

All reader accounts are manually reviewed. Readers must provide IMDbPro profile, professional email, and LinkedIn. Misrepresentation of credentials results in permanent ban and potential legal action.

IP Protection

Every upload receives a timestamped fingerprint. Every access request is logged. Writers may download a Certificate of Prior Upload at any time proving their script existed on SceneOne on a specific date before any reader had access.

SceneOne Is Not

A literary agency, production company, or party to any deal. SceneOne facilitates introductions only. Any transaction between writer and reader is solely between those parties. SceneOne has no liability for any deal outcome.
