Reading the script before the studio does

AI Film Script Analysis

About

A SaaS B2B business working with Cloud Combinator on AWS. The client is anonymised at their request.

Challenge

The proof of concept had three focus areas, each essential to a script analysis the client could put in front of its customers.

Making sense of a whole screenplay

A script is long, loosely structured text with its own conventions of scenes, action and dialogue. The system had to ingest a full screenplay and reason across all of it, not just isolated passages.

Scoring on qualitative and quantitative axes

The client's scoring model spans creative dimensions such as story and plot, characters, dialogue, writing style and theme, alongside quantitative measures such as page and word count, scene count and act breakdown. The AI had to produce judgements against this defined framework rather than a vague summary.

Proving the platform choice

Beyond a single result, the POC had to demonstrate that an AWS-based generative AI approach was the right foundation on which the client could build out full, repeatable script evaluation.

Solution

A screenplay is ingested and broken into passages that fit the model's context, then a LangChain pipeline drives Amazon Bedrock, running Claude, through the scoring framework, prompting the model to assess each script against the client's defined qualitative and quantitative criteria. Real screenplays were used as test material to validate the approach across different genres and styles.

  • 2 - Analysis lenses, qualitative and quantitative, in one report
  • $873 - Modelled monthly AWS cost at POC volume
Changes

Cloud Combinator delivered a working proof of concept that ingests a full screenplay and returns a structured, criteria-based evaluation, demonstrating that a generative AI approach on AWS is a sound foundation for the client's script analysis and helping the team scope the platform and skills needed to take it forward.

  • Whole-script understandingThe pipeline ingests a full screenplay and reasons across it, handling the length and conventions of real scripts.
  • Framework-based scoringClaude assesses each script against the client's qualitative and quantitative criteria, producing structured judgements rather than a loose summary.
  • Consistent, comparable outputAn explicit scoring framework means the same script yields a comparable evaluation each time, the basis of a data-driven service.
  • HandoverThe client received a validated MVP and a clear view of the platform and team needed to develop full script evaluation.

With AI-driven script analysis proven, the client is positioned to build automated screenplay evaluation into its platform, giving producers and creatives a faster, more consistent read on the scripts that cross their desks.
