One approach to developing plot structure is to divide the plot into three (3) acts. Within each act, there is a set of events. These events typically follow a particular order. The 3 Act approach is outlined below: |
|
|
Act I
|
Act II
- Conflict and New Opportunity Emerges
- Beginning of Journey
- Complications
- Reversal
- Change of Plans
- Progress
- Point of No Return
|
Act III
- Crisis and Complications
- The Dark Moment or Major Setback
- Final Push
- Climax
- Resolution
