Start with the story, not the camera
Every good drama has a clear conflict. Write your story in three short lines: the setup, the problem and the turning point. This makes planning scenes much easier.
Create your characters
In Drama Studio you can add your characters with a short description and up to three photos each. Clear descriptions like age, clothing and personality help keep them recognisable from scene to scene.
Break the story into scenes
Drama Studio turns your story into 6, 12 or 18 scenes. Read each scene prompt and adjust it before you make it. Small edits, like adding the time of day, make a big difference.

Edit it into a film
When your clips are ready, open the video editor to put them in order, trim them, add music and titles, and export your short film to your phone or computer.
