Three-act Structure

Three-Act Structure is a dramaturgical and screenwriting narrative model that organizes a play or film into three sequential acts—typically designated Setup, Confrontation, and Resolution—in which exposition and an inciting incident are established, the central conflict is developed and intensified, and the dramatic action is brought to climax and narrative closure, respectively.
