Hello, how is everything going during the week. Hope everything’s all right. What we will talk about today is something about screenwriting especially about the formula of screenplay.
Films are come from scripts. Usually, a movie script has 120-160 pages, each page is a minute of film time, and most movies are two hours or shorter. First ten pages tells the reader what the movie is going to be about. After that, every ten pages must have a plot point which keeps the story moving. A little bit before the middle of the screenplay, about page 50-55, a mid-point crisis should occur that takes the story in a logical but unexpected direction. The conclusion should come at page 105 to page 120.
Syd Field developed a screenplay formula which as three acts-set up, confrontation and resolution. The great scripts have distinct beginnings, middles, and ends. In the first 30 mins, the film should tell the audiences who is the movie about? Where is the movie taking place? What’s going to happen?At the end of act one comes the first plot point. Act Two is the Biggie to write- it will be 60 pages long. Creat your characters and throw stuff at them. Let them Struggle towards their goal. At the end of Act 2 comes the second plot point and usually by now the solution is in sight.
Those Movies’s structure belong to traditional screen formula:Three kings
