A system includes a memory configured to store a plurality of tools and a processor configured to use the plurality of tools. The processor uses the plurality of tools to retrieve historical information relating to a storyline, retrieve user information relating to user interactions with the storyline, provide the historical information and the user information for incorporating into the content, and generate the content using the historical information and the user information.
BACKGROUND(1) Today's distribution technologies for video experiences enable a new type of storytelling that can both receive inputs from the audience and adjust facets of the story, plot or other parameters of the end-to-end story experience. These inputs can occur via a direct interface into the viewing device or digital player, or these inputs can occur through other technology platforms and devices not directly connected to the primary viewing screen or platform. Additionally, the story itself may be distributed across and span multiple platforms, devices, time horizons, and viewers.(2) However, very few tools exist to make the writing, preproduction and planning, production, post-production and distribution easier and simpler. Conventionally, each tool for each phase has to be manually generated and manually programmed in order to ensure an accurate logic for the storyline in order to have continuity, which leaves room for mistakes and a lack of continuity.(3) Today, changes in the story or other facets of the experience currently need to be manually generated and manually programmed. For example, assembling videos in an interactive video, graphically designing mechanisms for user input to be overlaid on top of a video, or maintaining the logic in a non-linear story are some changes that would need to be manually generated and manually programmed. As a result, creation of such experiences is necessarily separated from the writing and production of such experiences, makin
1. A system for creation of a content, the system comprising: a memory configured to store a distribution tool configured to generate a key performance indicators (KPI) menu including analytics associated with a storyline; and a processor configured to: retrieve historical information relating to the storyline; retrieve user information relating to user interactions with the storyline; provide the historical information and the user information for incorporating into the content; generate the content using the historical information and the user information; output a visualization graph on a display to a creator of the content, the visualization graph including events, characters, locations and the historical information of the storyline, wherein the visualization graph includes an event layer visually displaying an effect of at least one of the events on the storyline across time, wherein the visualization graph includes the KPI menu having the analytics associated with the storyline; receive a manipulation of the visualization graph from the creator informed by the analytics associated with the storyline to alter the events in the storyline; provide a warning to the creator on the display when the altering of the events in the storyline causes an inconsistency in the storyline; and alter the events in the storyline when the altering of the events in the storyline does not cause any inconsistency in the storyline.
