dfk*films’ very own SSO-Method | *40-Steps-Method is the base upon which we build the most objective analysis possible. This intricate approach is at work in our extensive, unforgiving and invaluable analysis in 3 parts. A Story-Step-Outline (SSO) summarizes the entire content of the script | concept in just a few pages and sets out all the important parts of the plot and the story without interpretation.

The plot is the outer, surface level narrative. The Story is the actual narrative evoked by means of the plot – the thing that ultimately interests and moves us.
A fully developed story for a feature-length film or documentary consists of around 40 Steps. The SSO shows all the actions taken by the protagonist toward the achievement of his/her overall goal. The number of steps for a series depends on the format.

The rigorous interrogation of a script | concept gives rise to a plethora of questions and comments (about 150). We devote a significant portion of our analysis to them. Finding the answers to these questions and the reflection on the comments enables the systematic advancement of the work.

Our Script Analysis deals i.a. with the following issues :

• Motto
• Logline
• Synopsis
• Structure
• Genre
• Characters
• Dialogue
• Topics
• Subject, and its social relevance
• Credibility
• Irony
• Tone/Mood
• Final Impact (main theme)

A detailed script analysis is unforgiving and a good basis for the revision and further development of a script | concept | series.

Our consultancy of Story | Script | Concept | Project DEVELOPMENT, is based on three questions:

• The relation of the author to their material. Evaluating the reasons for the choice of the material. Personal relationship to the material as a whole, to specific topics, the subject, the protagonist, the antagonist etc.
• The social relevance of the chosen material and the story’s potential for universality.
• The experience of the author, their imagination of what the end product should look like, and who it is aimed at.

The discussion of details may seem like a detour, yet often leads to the desired outcome.
