Screenplay/Movie Plot Point Checklist
Between pages 1-5: The HOOK, something that grabs our attention and pulls us in.
Page 10: At this point in your script you should have the "MINI CRISIS". The "MINI CRISIS" should lead us into...
Page 17: ...The DILEMMA. Creation of the team and what the movie is about.
Page 30: The REACTION to the dilemma or situation.
Page 45: First "REVERSAL" of the 17 minute point. This point furthers the characters and pushes them deeper into the situation or the dilemma.
Page 60: The "TENT POLE" of the movie. Where the passive characters become active or vice versa.
Page 75: Second "REVERSAL" to the 17 minute point. To reaffirm what the story is about.
Page 90: The LOW POINT of action. The place from which our main character has to rise up from.
