DESCRIPTION
Movie Outline... Okay, so you've got this great idea. You think, if only someone would make a movie out of it! Then it hits you.. Hey, why don't I write it myself?! Well, why not? Go for it!  But before you jump into the deep end.. PLAN YOUR STORY! Many novice Screenwriters make the mistake of leaping head first into a full screenplay without taking the crucial first step of outlining their story. Otherwise known in the biz as "step-outlining".

A step outline is essentially a scene to scene breakdown of your story. By planning your story structure in advance you will save yourself a whole lot of time in the "rewriting" stage of your project because no matter how good you are at screenwriting, all writers have to learn to love rewriting!

Movie Outline offers a simple way for Screenwriters to outline their story while simultaneously referencing successful Movies of all genres. The six outlines and analyses included are: Die Hard, True Romance, There's Something About Mary, When Harry Met Sally, Scream and Good Will Hunting - and there are many more to come!

HELIOS9  Well, Movie Outline's price is more or less in the same range as other screen writing apps....which is to say (unjustifiably?)expensive.

For a screen writer who's already sold scripts, the cost is no more than a few lines of nose candy, which is to say mere pocket change to them.

For the rest of us, who constitute most of the market for these apps, snorting them up is not necessarily so easy a financial decision.

Celtx http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/19246/celtx is not only OUTSTANDING, but FREE as well. I seriously suggest giving Celtx a try and then decide if spending big bucks on Movie Outline or any of the others makes any real sense.  (Version 3.0.5)

SYHARRIS  This is a really well designed, nifty tool for script writing, quite innovative and intelligently put together. I could really get into using it, but $200?! Jesus!

It's just too out of reach for my wallet and, I'll wager,

for many other folks who would otherwise go for it were it at a sane, realistic price.

Even if it were offered as a MacUpdate Promo, I can't imagine it going for less than 50% off, which is still quite expensive.

Well, maybe Movie Outline's price point was, in fact, intentionally set to keep out the riffraff such as myself, and attract only the Porsche driving, coke sniffing elite.

$200! My God!  (Version 3.0.5)
