For AI Filmmakers
AI generation tools give you control over individual scenes. But without a structural reference, you're prompting without a map. Quanten Arc gives you the intensity data of 200+ genre films so you know what each scene needs to feel like before you generate it.
When you prompt scene by scene without a structural plan, the resulting film has moments but no momentum. The audience feels the absence of a throughline even if they can't name it.
Is scene 35 of a thriller supposed to be the highest point so far, or is there more to come? Without a reference arc, you're prompting blind. The structure shows it.
Audiences have expectations shaped by every film they've watched. Violating those expectations by accident — not by design — is what makes generated films feel structurally off.
Narrative intensity isn't just what happens in a scene — it's how that scene relates to every scene before and after it. Quanten Arc maps the intensity arc of 200+ produced films so you can see, concretely, how great films in your genre build and release tension. Use that data to plan your sequence, calibrate your prompts, and make structural decisions before generation — not in the edit.
The data you need to structure your film before you generate a single frame.
Scene-by-scene intensity data for 200+ produced films, visualised as a navigable arc. See the structural shape of films you want yours to resemble.
Filter by genre to see structural patterns specific to thrillers, dramas, horror, sci-fi, and more. Understand what the arc of your genre actually looks like.
See where act breaks fall in comparable films and what the intensity looks like at each transition. Know what a scene at the midpoint should feel like.
Drill into specific scenes to understand the exact emotional register you're prompting toward. Not just "high intensity" — precisely where in the arc.
Compare intensity patterns across multiple films in your genre. Identify the common structural shape — and the moments where the best films diverge from it.
Upload a treatment or script to see how your planned arc compares to genre benchmarks. Spot structural gaps before they become editing problems.
Explore 200+ analysed films. Filter by genre to find structural references for what you're making.
See intensity curves and act structure for films similar to yours. Understand how the arc builds.
Map your own scene sequence against the structural patterns you've studied.
Generate scenes knowing exactly what intensity level, emotional register, and structural position each one needs.
Before you generate a single frame, map your film's intended intensity arc against successful genre examples. Spot structural gaps (missing escalation, a flat midpoint, a premature peak) before they become editing problems.
Use genre intensity data to decide what order your generated scenes should fall in, and how each should feel relative to what comes before and after. Structure your spectacle, don't just assemble it.
Understand the structural conventions of the genre you're working in — and decide which ones to follow, and which to deliberately break. The difference between a bold choice and a mistake is knowing the rule you're breaking.
AI generation tools give you control over individual scenes, but they do not tell you how those scenes should feel relative to each other. Narrative arc data gives you the structural reference: you can see how tension builds across a genre film you want to emulate, then use that pattern to guide the intensity level and emotional register of each scene you generate.
Each scene in a produced film is scored for dramatic pressure: how much is at stake, how urgently the story is demanding the audience's attention. That score, plotted across the full runtime, produces the intensity curve. For an AI filmmaker, it tells you what a scene at a given structural position in your genre should feel like — not aesthetically, but in terms of stakes and tension.
Study the intensity curve of films in your genre. Note where the curve peaks, where it dips, and how the transitions between acts feel. You can then describe a scene's position on that curve to your generation tool: "this is the low point before the act-two escalation" or "this is the highest-intensity scene the story has reached so far". Structure-first prompting produces more coherent sequences than scene-by-scene generation without a plan.
The analysis engine is optimised for properly formatted screenplays in PDF or Final Draft format. Treatments and outlines do not have the scene structure the system needs to generate accurate intensity scores. A detailed scene-by-scene outline formatted as a script may produce usable results, but a full screenplay will always give more accurate data.
The library currently covers drama, thriller, horror, romantic comedy, science fiction, and action. You can browse the catalogue before subscribing to see which films are available in the genres closest to your project.
AI writing tools generate content. Quanten Arc analyses structure. It does not write scenes, suggest dialogue, or produce story ideas. It gives you the structural data of produced films so you can make informed decisions about how your own content should be sequenced and what intensity level each part of it should carry.
A flat section appears as a sustained plateau on the curve with little variation between scenes. In a generated film, this typically means a sequence of scenes that carry similar emotional weight without escalation or release. Genre data from comparable films shows you what the curve should be doing at that point in the runtime instead.
The Creator plan is the recommended starting point. It includes full benchmark library access, the ability to upload scripts for structural analysis, and draft comparison tools. If you are primarily studying the benchmark library without uploading your own work, the Explorer plan covers that.
Submitted screenplays are deleted from our servers immediately after analysis. We retain only the structural arc data. No readable script content is stored.
Our benchmark library is built on published screenplays analysed under fair use. We don’t store or redistribute third-party scripts.
