How Narrative Works
A complete guide to the platform — from setting up your studio to deploying your production brief.
Narrative transforms your discovery call transcripts, questionnaires, and notes into a complete creative workflow — from client-facing cinematic vision to crew-ready production brief.
Core Philosophy
“Every wedding has a cinematic language waiting to be found. Narrative helps you discover it — through psychology, not guesswork.”
Create your studio, share your discovery port, and let Narrative handle the rest. Here's how the workflow works end-to-end.
Create Your Studio
Sign up and set up your studio — name, philosophy, and branding. This becomes your home base for managing all projects.
Set Up a Project
Create a new project for each couple. Narrative generates a unique Discovery Port link you can share with them.
Share the Discovery Port
Send your couples the white-labeled questionnaire. They complete 30+ deep-dive storytelling questions about their relationship, aesthetic vision, and personal dynamics.
Upload the Transcript
Paste your discovery call transcript. Narrative cross-references it with questionnaire responses to build a complete psychological profile.
Build the Itinerary
Add or extract a structured timeline of events. This becomes the backbone of your production brief.
Generate the Dossier
Narrative synthesizes everything into a Psychology Dossier — a deep character study of the couple, their dynamics, and narrative opportunities.
Craft the Vision
Generate a client-facing Cinematic Treatment — a beautifully written letter that articulates how their story will look, feel, and be remembered.
Deploy the Brief
Generate a crew-facing Production Brief with shot lists, role-specific instructions, narrative arc, visual language, and logistical notes.
Studio Dashboard
A centralized workspace to manage all your projects, couples, and creative assets. Quick overview of project status at a glance.
Discovery Port
A white-labeled, shareable questionnaire with 30+ narrative-driven questions. Your couples complete it on their own time, through your brand.
Psychology Dossier
An AI-synthesized deep character study of the couple. Covers personality traits, relationship dynamics, narrative opportunities, and visual metaphors.
Cinematic Vision
A client-facing treatment letter written from filmmaker to couple. Expresses how their story will look, feel, and be remembered. Shareable as a link or printed keepsake.
Production Brief
A comprehensive crew-facing document with directorial notes, role-specific briefs, shot clusters, narrative arc, visual language, and staffing recommendations.
Role-Specific Briefs
Each crew role receives a tailored brief — cinematographers get shot priorities, coordinators get timeline pressure points, audio gets sound priorities.
How does the pricing work?
Narrative operates on a per-project basis. Each project costs $39, which includes one full generation cycle (Discovery Port, Dossier, Vision, and Brief). For studios with higher volume, a 5-project bundle is available for $149.
Can I regenerate content?
Yes — you can regenerate the Dossier, Vision, and Brief as many times as you need. Each regeneration uses one project credit.
What happens to my data?
Your project data is stored securely in Supabase and is never used to train AI models. You can delete any project at any time.
Do my couples need an account?
No. The Discovery Port is a shareable link — your couples complete the questionnaire without creating an account. The Cinematic Vision can also be shared as a public link or exported as PDF.
What languages are supported?
The platform and AI generation work in English. Questionnaire responses and transcripts in other languages may produce reduced quality results.
Can I customize the questionnaire?
The questionnaire is designed as a comprehensive storytelling instrument. While the questions are fixed, you can add your own follow-up probes through the Transcript and IQ Probe features.
Is there a free trial?
You can create your studio and explore the dashboard for free. A project credit is required to generate the Dossier, Vision, and Brief.
