Abstract
In recent years, the demand of scenarios is increasing as the motion picture contents are increasing. Foreshadowing is one of the scenario techniques. Foreshadowing can be used for every kind of scenarios, and play an important role in the scenario writing. However, Foreshadowing is often used by authors sensibly, so there are many problems, which is from author’s sense, with using the foreshadowing. In this paper, we studied how to use effective foreshadowing with the purpose to support scenario writing. More concretely we analyzed the existing motion picture contents and extracted the foreshadowing elements in them. In addition, we developed a scrapbook that can be registered and search the foreshadowing elements, which will support the idea of scenario writing. Moreover we conducted the evaluation experiment of the foreshadowing scrapbook in order to confirm the usefulness of it. The results of the experiment, using the foreshadowing scrapbook can make it possible to add new another foreshadowing element and to produce strongly related foreshadowing to the main story, and it was possible to ascertain the usefulness of foreshadowing scrapbook.
