Writing the Second Act:
Creating Conflict andTension in Your Film Script

Writers Digest Book Club Selection

Movie &Entertainment Book Club

Selection

Every screenplay needs an attention-grabbing beginning and a satisfying ending, but those elements are nothing without a strong, well-crafted middle.

The second act is where most of the action is: where your characters grow, change, and overcome the obstacles that will bring them to the resolution at the end of the story. It's also the hardest act to write, and where most screenplays tend to lose momentum and focus.
