How does the Theme Wheel work?

• Each wedge of the blue ring represents a scene.
• Each row of colored boxes extending from a wedge represents a part of the scene. The closer to the blue ring, the closer to the beginning of the scene.
• The colors in each row indicate which themes are “active” in that part of the scene.

The Theme Wheel is interactive.

• Themes: Hover over or tap any of the themes in the Themes and Colors Key to show only that theme. Click a theme in the Themes Key to lock it.
• Summary: Hover over or tap any row of colored boxes to read the summary associated with that row. Click the row to lock the summary.
