The Director’s AI Research Suite (Prompt Library)

The Goal:

To move beyond “Ask a question” and into “Complex Analysis.”

How to use:

Upload your script (PDF) to Gemini or ChatGPT Plus and then paste these specific “Mega-Prompts.”

The Dramaturg Prompt:

“Analyze the attached script for [Play Name]. Identify the top 3 central themes. For each theme, provide 5 historical visual references (art movements, specific locations, or architecture) that a set designer could use for inspiration. Format as a table.”

The Character Motivation Matrix:

“Select the character [Name]. Based strictly on their dialogue and stage directions, define their ‘Super Objective’ for the play. Then, break down their ‘Objective’ for each scene they appear in. Identify three contradictions in their behavior that an actor should explore.”

The Technical Requirements Audit:

“Scan this script and extract a comprehensive list of all mentioned props, sound cues, and lighting changes. Organize them by Act and Scene. Flag any ‘impossible’ stage directions that require creative technical solutions.”
