Welcome to the eighth installment of my latest series entitled “The Craft Of”, a crash course on traditional 3 Act Structure which the vast majority of Hollywood films released over the last several decades have utilized.

In the final episode of this series, we will discuss the fifth and last of the five major plot points, The Climax, when your protagonist makes their final do or die decision, confronts the antagonist head on, and brings about a resolution to the story’s main conflict once and for all.

NOTE: This series is not meant to rag on any particular screenwriting guide you fancy. If it works for you, stick with it. If you DO need a recommendation, go with Syd Field's "Screenplay", which I'd say is the gold standard.
