FAQs

What does script breakdown for short film mean in CinemaDrop?
It’s the process of turning a written script into a structured storyboard you can work through shot by shot. From that foundation, you can generate consistent images, explore motion for key moments, and add audio to evaluate pacing and story clarity.
Can I paste an existing short film script to start the breakdown?
Yes. Paste your script to generate an initial storyboard and quickly visualize the scene flow. Then refine by revising, reordering, or regenerating individual shots until the breakdown matches your intent.
How can I keep the same character look across multiple scenes?
Use references and reusable Elements to carry character identity across shots. By grounding each new shot in the same character Element, the look stays more consistent while you vary framing, action, and setting.
Are there options for faster iteration versus stronger consistency?
Yes. CinemaDrop supports quick iteration when you want to explore ideas rapidly, and higher-consistency generation when you need stronger continuity across the sequence. Choose based on whether speed or locked-in cohesion matters most for the current pass.
Can the breakdown include motion tests, not just still frames?
Yes. You can create text-to-video shots or animate between selected start and end frames to preview movement. These motion tests make it easier to judge timing, staging, and transitions before expanding the full cut.
Can I keep one voice consistent for a character’s dialogue?
Yes. Assign a consistent voice to a character Element and reuse it across shots so dialogue feels like the same person throughout. This is especially helpful for testing performance, tone, and pacing during the breakdown.
Do I need separate tools for music and sound effects during the breakdown?
No. You can generate speech and music in the same storyboard-driven workflow and attach audio to specific shots as you iterate. Keeping picture and sound together helps you make faster, more confident creative decisions.
