StoryPrint: an interactive visualization of stories
summary
An interactive tool parses screenplays into settings, characters and dialogue, renders concentric rings on a circular time axis with inner ring colors for settings and outer rings ordered by line count to show character prominence, applies sentence‑level sentiment averaged to a −1..1 scale and mapped to color, and offers a difference overlay that highlights added/removed scenes and swapped lines. A prototype is implemented and evaluated: 100 MTurk users (15‑min) grasp emotion/setting/prominence but fail comparative questions (one item 0/100 correct); five screenwriters mostly succeed and 4/5 find it useful. Limitations: rigid parsing and radial distortion of arc area.
