strange accent. very distracting.
-
very strange voice. the point is that the three act structure is a proven form. No one ever said that it was a rule, just a very successful principle. now fuck off.

Annoying woman.

@TheHandOfFear if that's true then explain how the final (butchered) battlefield earh got greenlighted, even a money hungry film anything with dialogue proder could see tha tthe finl draft was a turd!

my story only has 2 true acts because the 2nd act is really both the 2nd and third act.
It was supposed to ge a novel simila to his dark materials but I got too lazy and decided to make a much shorter movie. (without talking animals). Why does she croak so much?

@Acard89 Pop in SR again and watch carefully - not only is the entire film done according to the standard, even the scenes are broken down into 3 parts babeee ;P

Honey, the only reason why I listened to you from the start to finish is coz that accents is totally whacked ;)
As for the content of your speech - YES - Sid Field is right - when you're writing a script, you're telling a story. WHICH MEANS it has a BEGINING, MIDDLE and an END - those are 3 things, you can call them acts or parts or what haveyous, but they are 3 things and just like you would tell a story to a friend, you write a script with a begining, middle and an end.
You should read a book about lighting.

Nit-picking nonsense. I've read the Syd Field book twice and it's crystal clear what he means by the three acts. He even says you don't have to take it literally. Verdict: do your homework before spouting on about something you haven't understood.
