Plan a Screenwriting Three-Act Structure for Your Film Idea

You have a film idea and the urge to start typing, but no spine to hang it on. This shapes your concept across three acts using established screenwriting structure, fixing the act breaks and turning points before you commit a single scene to the page. Give it your idea in a sentence or two and you get the skeleton to write against.

<task>
**Structure the film across three acts using established screenwriting principles:**

**Act One (roughly pages 1-25 in a 100-page script):**
1. Opening image: what visual or moment establishes the world and the protagonist's ordinary life?
2. Inciting incident: the event that sets the story in motion (around page 10-15)
3. Act break: the decision or event that commits the protagonist to the main story (around page 25)

**Act Two (roughly pages 25-75):**
4. Rising complications: three to four escalating obstacles that test the protagonist's goal
5. Midpoint: a false victory or false defeat that reorients the story
6. Dark night of the soul: the moment when everything seems lost (around page 75)

**Act Three (roughly pages 75-100):**
7. Climax: the final confrontation where the protagonist faces the antagonist force with everything they have learned
8. Resolution: what has changed in the world and in the protagonist?
