Abstract

A script management and asset development system is disclosed. The system includes user activated menus for facilitating the distribution, viewing, listening, analyzing, storage, archiving, retrieving, searching, sorting, annotating, prioritizing, quantifying, tracking, printing and managing of assets. Each asset can include one or more of a document, image, literary piece, script, manuscript, treatment, book, synopsis, logline, song. Assignable Asset Restriction Levels within the system facilitate the imposition of restrictions, limitations, and permissions to both users and assets. A Rubric is assignable to each asset. The Rubric includes elements to which a user can respond for each asset thereby producing a numeric value. Also, a numeric value grading system, which implements a running calculation of an RPA (Rubric Point Average) to provide a grade or rank to each asset, is provided based upon scoring of the elements on the Rubric.

Claims

1. A computer method in a document management system for analyzing, critiquing and quantifying literary documents (i.e. screenplays, stage plays and manuscripts), comprising:

using declarative statements in order to objectify feedback;

applying a numeric value to each declarative statement in order to objectify feedback;

producing an overall grade by using a running calculation of each element within the scoring system;

merging the quantified opinion of multiple users;

providing a standard set of criteria on which to form a fundamental basis for agreement;

applying emotion-descriptive tags to selected text for the purposes of tracking a reviewer'"'"'s emotional response;

calculating each emotion-descriptive tag to quantify the reviewer'"'"'s overall emotional response;

tagging selected text with frequent words/comments;

choosing selected text for comments and feedback;

creating a detailed computerized document, in the form of a report that can be printed, collaborated and distributed electronically; and

compiling quantified feedback for tracking trends, searching, archiving and enhancing the system database.
