Scene card anatomy: what each card carries

قراءة 4 دقيقة

The scene card is the atomic unit of the Scene Board. Each card carries one scene's metadata — scene number, INT/EXT, location, time, characters, storylines, summary.

Slima Script Studio Scene Board as a visual reference; cards carry per-scene metadata

What a scene card shows

By card density (Compact / Detailed):

Compact mode

  • Scene number (e.g. S01E03 #07)
  • Scene title (e.g. Lighthouse cottage confrontation)
  • Storyline colour marker (side stripe or chip)

Detailed mode

Plus:

  • INT/EXT + location + time chip (e.g. INT. LIGHTHOUSE COTTAGE - NIGHT)
  • Main characters chips (e.g. J. Doe, A. Smith)
  • Summary (one-two sentences)
  • Word count / estimated duration

Scene heading (the title line)

In script format, each scene starts with a heading:

  • TW: 「場 1 / 內景 / 燈塔守護人小屋 / 夜」
  • Hollywood: INT. LIGHTHOUSE COTTAGE - NIGHT

See Scene heading: INT/EXT.

The card's INT/EXT + location + time chip is parsed directly from the scene heading — change the heading, the card auto-updates.

Storyline colour

Each storyline has its own colour (Storylines concept). When a scene is linked to a storyline, the card gets that colour — easy to see which scene belongs to which line at a glance.

A scene can link to multiple storylines (e.g. pushing A-story and C-story simultaneously) — multiple colour markers appear.

Character chips

Auto-detected from the character names in dialogue lines inside the scene. Manual add / remove also possible from the Scene Detail Panel.

Click any character chip → usually jumps to Character Bible / highlights that character's scene list.

What happens when you click a card

  • Click / hover: highlight; some inline action icons appear
  • Double-click / open: jumps to Write view to edit that scene's dialogue and description
  • Top-right ⋯ menu: edit metadata / link storyline / move / delete
