Movie Outline is a word processing program to step outline a cinematic story and format a screenplay. It was created by Dan Bronzite, a produced UK screenwriter. It was released in 2004 as an outliner but has expanded its features in later releases.
The software is based on the principle of step-outlining, whereby a writer creates their story step-by-step before writing the screenplay. This essential process is sometimes overlooked by the novice writer who may prefer to jump headfirst into writing their full screenplay before properly planning their story structure. However, this approach normally results in more rewrites in the long run.
One of Movie Outline's features is its "Reference Plugins" which allow comparison of the progress of the writer's story with outlines and analyses of Hollywood movies.
