Review act 1 to gain quick, actionable screenwriting tips that hook audiences, set up characters and inciting incident, and practice daily writing with the rule of ten.
Your hero is ready for change! And they enter a new world oftentimes literally. In Home Alone 2, Kevin gets to New York. In Superman, Clark Kent leaves Smallville. In The Hangover, our main characters are hungover and can't remember last night. Also, your B-Story starts around here.
Amplify the stakes at the film midpoint by showing the antagonist gaining momentum. Use examples like Dark Knight and Alien to illustrate escalating danger and the all is lost moment.
Write down the lowest point possible for your protagonist. Even worst off than the hero started. Look at examples from Wonder Woman, Meet the Parents, Happy Gilmore, Nightmare on Elm Street, and more.
Act two guides the hero to embrace change, enter a new world, and escalate stakes toward the midpoint, while avoiding rewrites and using focused writing blocks and deadlines to finish.
