Three-act screenplay structure with beat placement. Covers opening image, inciting incident, midpoint, all is lost, climax, and page targets for feature screenplays. Use when: planning screenplay structure, analyzing narrative arc, placing story beats, or validating structural integrity.
Story structure for screenplays and stage plays (故事结构) — merged from Syd Field's paradigm and plot points, Blake Snyder's Save the Cat beat sheet and board, Robert McKee's Story (event/scene/sequence/act, inciting incident, progressive complications, crisis-climax-resolution, subplots, story triangle), Julian Hoxter's nine-beat model, Neill Hicks's three acts as attraction/anticipation/satisfaction, and Lu Jun's Chinese short-play structure (凤头猪肚豹尾, 起承转合, eight openings, eight endings, 入戏要快/脉络要清/高潮要高/转变要顺/变化要多). Use when outlining a script, placing plot points and the midpoint, fixing a sagging second act, designing an opening or ending, diagnosing “nothing happens,” choosing between linear and non-linear designs, or converting a premise into beats and cards.
