What is Mariner Software Contour ?
At one time or another, every writer has experienced the dreaded,
“now what do I write?” rut that brings even seasoned writers to their
knees. Kiss those days goodbye, Follow the Contour system and answer just these 4 questions and
you’re well on your way to creating a masterpiece: Who is the main
character? What is the main character trying to accomplish? Who is
trying to stop the main character? What happens if the main character
fails?
You didn’t think it would be that easy, did you?
Contour, the dual-platform, award-winning story development system
developed by Emmy Award-nominated Jeffrey Alan Schechter, is designed to
take your idea and turn it into a bulletproof outline. Contour teaches
you the perfect blend of plot-driven versus character-driven
storytelling that blockbuster movies use to create solid stories that
hold together from Fade In to Fade Out.
Minimum Theory, Maximum Story.
Unlike other story development systems which are either so
complicated that you don’t know where to start or so lightweight as to
wonder, “why in the world did I buy this?”, Contour is a must-have for
every screenwriter. Using a fill-in-the blanks and intuitive approach,
much like a software install wizard, Contour guides you as to what
elements need to be part of your story outline – effectively
constructing the foundation of your screenplay. In the end, you’re never
left to wonder, “what comes next?”
Shhh! It’s a Secret!
Do your stories lack cohesiveness from start to finish? Contour
explains the major storytelling secrets needed to craft a highly
marketable movie. Your main character’s journey is explained through
archetypal themes – the same kind of themes used by most of the top 50
movies that have affected millions of viewers – maybe even you!
Worried about how to start?
Don’t be. For many, it’s much easier to understand the Contour system
by following the breakdown of a successful movie. Contour includes
several entire scripts of blockbuster movies dissected through the
Contour system. And if you need even more samples of how Contour works,
