Isn't this just the stereotypical image of a Hollywood screenwriter? Casual clothes, staying in a million? dollar home in Malibu, working from home in an office with gorgeous views. No wonder everyone's working on a script!

i was trying to ...
i was trying to write a screenplay for kingdom hearts but i was making my first draft to long and i tried doing a second draft to try? to shorten it but i didnt wanna give up on my first draft so i added some stuff in my first draft and i ended up screwing up the allignment and a bunch of other stuff happened and out of frustration i deleted both drafts, its all freakin frustrating.
I'm? sure what was ...
I'm? sure what was said was important but I was too distracted by the beautiful scene behind the speaker. Why was this shot with so much natural light coming from BEHIND the subject? Who would set up such a shot?
i like it and think ...
i like it and think it s probably great advice. Grab the audiences hand and never let them go, rather than worrying about the technicality of which act you're in.
How? can you ever allow your creativity to just run havoc and just go places, finding interesting turns and character moments if you're making your screenplay the way you make an Ikea bed

Hey good video, I ...
Hey good video, I like the idea of posing a question rather than following a desire/need. Those slight? changes help me a lot when I get stuck.
so agree 1st ...
so agree 1st question, 2 showing the working outs & 3 the solution, but i think u should write the story and not worry about making it 3 acts, more often than not the 3 acts is going to occur naturally. then again its subjective and opinion ,no right and wrong and of course you can mix the 3 sections up. start with answer then the question, so reader still intigues "how on earth did protag achieve thaT" so working outs becomes the end.if do that way u need? a subplot that runs correct way as well
never has anyone ...
never has anyone spoken so much about so? little

That was? helpful ...
That was? helpful thankyou, can you elaborate?
this? video was not ...
this? video was not helpful at all....
Car explosions and ...
Car explosions and shoot outs is one type of action. Maybe that's what people think about when they hear action. For me what matters in a script regardless of Genre is drama/conflict. FX can overpower a movie if it does not add to the story. The "action" in Rocky is everything he does to get ready for his fight and? win the heart of Adrian. Anyways there isn't alot of explosions in Rocky. I will give you that.
Actually yes I did ...
Actually yes I did fall asleep? during Blood Diamond, didn't like that film. Like said I know what your saying, and yes I know all the terms in screenplay writing. But Rocky full of action? It was about a boxer, more drama then action, the story was mainly about Rocky's life, where was all the action?
BTW another movie ...
BTW another movie with action? in Act's 1 2 and 3 is the Dark Knight. The entire movie was action and story from page 1 to page 150.
No action in Blood ...
No action in Blood Diamond? Were you asleep during the battle and killing scenes? That was basically? the theme of the movie in case you didn't realize. Anyways the plot/story isn't confined to just Act 1 and action just to Act 2 and 3. Your entire archplot is the movie. Have you ever heard of the Story Spine? The inciting incident is when your hero's world is turned upside down, everything after that, Acts 1, 2 and 3 is what he does to make it right again.
Blood Diamond? ...
Blood Diamond? Don't remember action in that film, more like a drama. I know what your saying but you still have to tell a story first to let the viewers know what is going on, some films yes do throw action on the screen at the beginning but they tell the story in the second act, if they didn't nobody would understand the film,in one of the three acts you HAVE to tell what is going on regardless. But? do know what your saying. And sistiri is right, make it simple, a lot don't understand this.
Blood diamond, ...
Blood diamond, Gangs? of New York, Good Fellas, Lord of the Rings, Rocky, terminator 1, and 2, the God Father, to name a few all have action/drama written through out the archplot, Not simply in Acts 2 and 3. In Jurrasic Park, the very first scene is a Velasoraptor attacking an Island worker. BTW Act 1 is the begining of the story yes, but it is not the begining of the screenplay. The subplot (events before the inciting incident) is the very begining of a movie.
That's what I meant ...
That's what I meant. But you can';t just throw a bunch of action on the screen in ACT 1, people have to know why the character(s) are battling it out for, unless they start with the action and explain it more in ACT 2. Take RAMBO first blood, there is no action, he's? just a drifter, they don't make hime interact in fight scenes until ACT 2 where he escapes jail, same with Jurassic Park, you don't see the Dino's interact in attacking people until ACT 2. ACT 1 Beginning ACT 2 Middle ACT 3 END
its? a bulls**t, i ...
its? a bulls**t, i dont understand it!
MAKE IT SIMPLE!
No. Act 1 2 3 all ...
No. Act 1 2 3 all have action and conflict. The difference between these? acts is the frequencey of action and intensity of the action.
The simple reason ...
The simple reason for three acts is because act 1 is telling the story, act two is mainly the action and? interaction between characters and deals more on why the hero and villian are at odds with each other, and act three is the ending to the story. The way I do it is make notes, create characters before hand, write out a synopsis for each of them, get to know them like they are real and they are your good buddies LOL Know that sounds odd but it helps with character development and structure.

Good explination - 3? act structure as a question.
