synopsis scene-by-scene scriptis a skill that develops into. Following Korean drama script notation conventions and domestic film scenario conventions, it is written in a format that production companies can review as-is.
1. Overview
What the script determines is **what to show and tell (scenes·dialogue)** and **in what order to arrange it (scene order)**. Violating format rules becomes a reason for rejection by production companies, so notation conventions must be followed.
2. What this skill does not do
- Does not create synopsis·logline — Logline·structure·planning intent are received as finalized by
story-synopsis. - Does not create storyboards·visuals — Camera angles·frames are handled by
story-conti, and camera movement bystory-previz. - Does not use American-style terminology as default — Korean dramas use S# numbering and Korean-language stage direction conventions as default. English notation is provided alongside via a correspondence table (
transition-vocabulary.md).

4. Workflow
Step 1 — Scene division
story-synopsis's episodes/acts are split into scene units. One scene = one location·one time period principle. The range of scenes per episode is kr-screenplay-format.md refer to.
Step 2 — Writing scene headers (S#)
Following Korean drama conventions, mark **S# number + location + time (day/night·interior/exterior)**. For film scenarios, use domestic convention headers, but if necessary, provide INT/EXT correspondence alongside via a correspondence table.
Step 3 — Stage directions·dialogue
- Stage directions: Actions·situations in present tense. Indentation·line break conventions are
kr-screenplay-format.md. - Dialogue: Character name + dialogue. Maintain character tone, and attach emotional directions sparingly as parenthetical stage directions.
Step 4 — Transitions
Place transition symbols only when transitions between scenes are needed (do not overuse). Korean/English correspondence is transition-vocabulary.md.
Step 5 — Submission format alignment
For production company·contest submissions, align cover page·character introduction·length (manuscript paper/A4 conversion) to the kr-screenplay-format.md standard.
5. Output format
S#1. [장소] / [낮·밤] / [내·외]
(지문: 인물이 무엇을 하는지 현재형으로)
인물명
대사.
(감정·행동 괄호 지문)
인물명
대사.
CUT TO / 컷.
Notation details (indentation width·character name position) follow
kr-screenplay-format.mdconventions.
6. Precautions
- Prevent format rejection — Follow S# numbering·stage direction conventions. Violating them results in production company rejection.
- Do not overuse English terms — Korean dramas use Korean conventions as default, with English provided alongside.
- Do not overuse transitions — CUT is the default premise; specify only special transitions.
- Volume conversion check — Manuscript volume per episode is
kr-screenplay-format.md(if the figure is not finalized, coordinate relatively).
