The aim is to craft a story within the three acts that makes the structure disappear. The good guys gonna win-but the story hides it for us!

Any other order means the movies feels like it ends before it ENDS. It leaves your audience cranky and unsatisfied. www.Wordsmythe.ca

You leave the biggest (life & death) issue to last... THAT one ends the movie, IS THE CLIMAX tells us all will be well or NOT for our hero.

Just as in the 2nd act you brought in complications of an ESCALATING scale - now you RESOLVE them all-smallest thru to BIGGEST. Wordsmythe

The 1st Act is the SET UP; the 2nd Act is COMPLICATIONS - the 3rd Act is RESOLUTION. All of the issues raised in the 2nd Act must go away!

Why else watch stories of triumph over adversity, redemption, or true love won against all odds - but to encourage ourselves to RISK too!

IF our heroine can win out over unthinkable odds in her life - maybe we can too. We leave the theatre with HOPE-and that is no small thing!
26 Jun 2011
There is in us, the audience, a burning desire to see our heroine succeed -but not TOO EASILY. We want to see her earn it - just like we do!

It progresses in steps, like a stairway ....to HELL maybe. The hero is challenged more strenuously with each step she takes! Wordsmythe.ca
22 Jun 2011
Act 2 begins a progression of situations where the hero/ine is challenged by the villain to RISK something to move towards her goal!
20 Jun 2011
ACT TWO is all about conflict. The heroine/hero is conflicted about their desire for what they want... and yet they WANT IT!
18 Jun 2011
In the 1st act you SHOW us what's at stake AND then illustrate in Act 2 & 3 how far both hero & villain will go to succeed! Wordsmythe.ca
16 Jun 2011
The antagonist (or villain) is almost as important as your hero or heroine. The stronger the villain-the more valiant the effort to succeed!
14 Jun 2011
SET UP the antagonist - or villain. WHY do they thwart the hero/ine's efforts. HOW do they thwart them, time & time again? Wordsmythe.ca
12 Jun 2011
SET UP the hero/ine's DESIRE...What is it they want more than anything else in their world? TELL us - SHOW US and how much it matters too!
10 Jun 2011
The 1st act is all about the SET UP. Set up the WORLD, where is it - what is it - how does the Hero/ine figure in it? www.Wordsmythe.ca
