Screenwriting Tip 3 The Three Act Structure

[Screenwritersrus]

Sorry, I haven't been able to keep this up, but I have been very busy producing several films and five reality shows as well as writing my book series for screenwriters. Check them out on my website for my production company On the Lot Productions, LLC

Someone asked what makes me qualified. Lets see. Created five reality shows, wrote 15 screenplays (optioned 12), produced five movies, won screenwriting awards, published more than a dozen books, judged screenwriting contests, script reader for major studio, PhD, and no telling what else. Any more questions on my qualifications.

Did you write E.T. or something?

beginning middle and end is not a three act structure

[Jaqshit]

what about unfinished works?

[BUDDY6414724297]

What qualifies you to talk, have you had any awards or had anything produced?

@BUDDY6414724297 You asked what qualifies me -- wrote dozens of books in the film industry, won screenwriting awards, produced and created five reality shows, produced and wrote several films, wrote 15 screenplays (12 optioned), and I have a PhD. And you?

This could be a serious problem. In order to make this work, you must set up the Brother as a protagonist in act one. Make sure we know who he is, and why he's there. If not, you could have a serious problem.

Hello Dr. Mel

The script that I am working has structure, but half way through the second act the protagonist dies and this forces his brother (who we have alreay met to reluctantly take his role. Is this a massive problem?

That is exactly it. Why wouldn't the charactor change.? If there is no change, inner conflict, it would be boring. Hope it helped.

What I personally found useful from this is a very simple thing about the change of the character closer to the end. A resolution of inner conflict, I guess, that's what it is.
