Arc Studio’s Reports give you greater insight into your script and aid in the production process.
Accessing Reports
To access your reports, click the Reports pie chart icon in the top right.
In the reports window you will see the options for the Scenes report, Locations report, and Cast report. You can also see your Characters breakdown and the Export option.
Cast report
The Cast report shows you:
- All your characters
- How many lines of dialogue they each have (and the total number of lines in the script)
- How many words they each speak (and the total number of words in the script)
- How many speaking scenes they each have
- How many total scenes they are each in
Locations report
The Locations report shows you
- A list of all your locations, sorted by how many times they occur in your script.
- The page and scene numbers they first occur in your script.
Scenes report
The Scenes report shows you a list of all your scenes, where they occur, their length, and the characters who speak in the scene.
Exporting reports
You can export any of the three kinds of reports as a .csv file. First, select the report you want so you’re viewing it. Then click the Export button on the top right and save it to your computer.
Characters breakdown
The Characters breakdown shows you the breakdown of how much each character is speaking via the bar graph. You can change the color for each character by clicking the color dot next to their name.
You can also get a gender breakdown by clicking the gender icon next to each listed character. Choose a category, or add a custom one of your own.
You can then see a gender breakdown in the pie chart by the number of characters of each gender or the number of lines.
