A short exercise you can do in 60 minutes (apply Field’s method)
- Pick a favorite film (90–120 minutes).
- Write a one-sentence logline (who, wants what, what’s at stake).
- Break the film into three acts and note the approximate minute marks for the first plot point, midpoint, and climax.
- Choose one scene that immediately precedes a plot point. Re-write that scene as a 1–2 page screenplay focusing on a single clear objective and a visible obstacle.
- List three ways to make the scene escalate toward the plot point instead of merely transitioning.
Study the examples actively.
