How to Customize

Add Your Mood Drivers

Rename categories or add new branches (e.g., Culture, Color Palette) to match your project.

Detail Scene-Specific Cues

Under each branch, add concise effect lines (e.g., ‘Low-key shadows — intimate, tense’).

Color & Share

Color-code by mood intensity, apply your brand fonts, then export or share a link with your team.

Key Benefits

  • Clarifies tone decisions in minutes
  • Aligns writers, directors, and producers fast
  • Reusable framework for any genre or medium
  • Professional, presentation-ready output

Pro Tips

  • Keep effects short: cue — mood (e.g., ‘Fog — obscure, uneasy’).
  • Color-code by emotional temperature (warm=optimism, cool=distance).
  • Tie cues to action: specify shot length, contrast, or ambient dB where relevant.
