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.
Four viewing cues. Nothing more.
The signal layer is intentionally narrow. The richness is in how the story listens to it.
- 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.
- 02
Stillness
Breath, posture, the held body. Silence and room tone answer to this.
- 03
Expression
Observable facial movement. Not an emotion read — behavior the story can interpret dramatically.
- 04
Avoidance
Looking away, breaking the frame. The story remembers what you would not look at.
A short list of refusals.
- 01We do not detect emotion. We register observable behavior.
- 02We do not identify your face. There is no biometric database.
- 03We do not store video. Camera frames stay in the browser.
- 04We do not record beyond the session. Closing the tab ends the read.
- 05We do not share signals with third parties. The camera is for the film.
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.
- PacingHold time, edit length, how long a scene rests before cutting.
- EditsWhich cut, from a small set authored by the director.
- DialogueBranching lines, composed for different attention states.
- Scene pathsWhich sequence the film moves to next.
- EndingsWhat the film shows, withholds, or returns to.
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.
