Script Board Template

The corkboard was always the right idea. The wall was the problem.

Screenwriters have been pinning index cards to walls for eighty years because moving a scene is how you find out where it belongs. The wall just can’t come with you, can’t be searched, and falls down. Skrib’s Board is that corkboard with the limits removed: infinite canvas, every card openable, and your actual script one click away.

What’s in the script board template

Scene cards and structure lanes, ready to fill and reorder. • Scene Cards: Slugline, one-line purpose, estimated page count and the question the scene answers.

• Act and Sequence Lanes: Group cards into acts, sequences or episodes and see the proportions at a glance.

• Beat Strip: The spine of the story above the scene cards, so structure and detail stay in the same view.

• Character Tags: Mark who’s in each scene and spot the character who vanishes for forty pages.

• Location & Time-of-Day Tags: The beginning of a breakdown, built while you write rather than after.

• Set-Up and Payoff Links: Connect the gun on the mantle to the moment it fires, and see any thread you left hanging.

• Colour-Coded Threads: A colour per plot line or per POV, so the B-story’s absence is visible instead of theoretical.

• Reference Cards: Drop images, PDFs, research and inspiration onto the Board beside the scenes they inform.

Why break story on a Skrib Board?

Software that shows you cards or pages makes you choose. This shows you both.

• Reorder Without Consequence: Drag a scene from act two to act three and the whole board updates. Nothing to renumber, nothing to re-paste.

• The Card Opens Into the Scene: Click a card and write the actual pages in the Draft. Plan and script never drift apart.

• Formatting That Stays Put: Industry-standard editor beside the Board, with scene numbers holding through revisions.

• Export to the Real Thing: .fdx for Final Draft, .fountain, or .pdf when it’s time to send it out.

• Every Version in the Library: The structure you abandoned in draft two is still there when draft five proves it was right.
