What story are you telling?
Enter your logline and see which narrative archetypes best suit your premise. The same premise can be structured into many genuinely different films. A starting point for writers and indie filmmakers who want to develop an idea, not follow a formula. If you are staring at a blank page, this is where to start.
Every logline contains a structural argument. Most writers feel this before they can name it. A premise about a soldier returning home after war has different bones than a premise about two strangers falling in love in a city neither belongs to, even if both involve separation and reunion. The archetype is the name for that structural argument.
This tool takes your logline and surfaces which narrative archetypes it most naturally fits. It shows you how each archetype reshapes the beat sequence: where the story needs to breathe, where it needs to accelerate, what the dominant register should be across each act. The same premise becomes a different film depending on the archetype you commit to.
It is useful for writers who have a premise and are deciding how to frame the story before drafting. It is also useful for indie filmmakers reviewing an existing script who want to check whether the structure they built matches the structural promise of the logline they started with.
