How a Storyroom film works

The interaction model
is one act. Watching.

A Storyroom film does not ask the audience to choose. It reads the way you are already watching, and lets that reading shape the cut.

01What the camera reads

Four viewing cues. Nothing more.

The signal layer is intentionally narrow. The richness is in how the story listens to it.

  1. 01

    Attention

    Where the gaze rests, for how long. The film paces itself to a viewer who stays with a moment, and quickens for one who is searching.

  2. 02

    Stillness

    Breath, posture, the held body. Silence and room tone answer to this.

  3. 03

    Expression

    Observable facial movement. Not an emotion read — behavior the story can interpret dramatically.

  4. 04

    Avoidance

    Looking away, breaking the frame. The story remembers what you would not look at.

02What it does not do

A short list of refusals.

03What it shapes

The cut, the silence,
the door it opens.

The director authors a scene graph. Signals are conditions. The film plays the cut the room has earned.

04The camera contract

Consent before
the room opens.

Every film begins with an explicit camera prompt. Decline and watch a non-reactive cut. Revoke any time by closing the tab.

The camera frame never leaves your browser. We keep a narrative log of events the film noticed — never the footage.

Read the privacy notes

That is the whole mechanism.
The rest is the film.
