0:04Everything in this course works for a three -page short. Now let's scale it up to the big one. A feature film. 90 to 120 pages. An hour and a half to two hours on screen.

0:17Start with the format. Create the project in feature film mode. Your structure goes from the title to sequences, beats and scenes. Acts are hidden, but they're still there in your head. A quarter of the story for the setup, half for the confrontation, a quarter for the resolution.

0:36The most useful way to tame a feature is the sequence. Think of your film as about eight sequences of 12 to 15 pages. Each one a mini -movie with its own goal and its own turn. Eight problems to solve are much easier than 110 pages.

0:54Then the beats. Use the nine structure labels as a checklist across the whole film. One opening, one inciting incident around page 10 to 15, plot point one around page 25, a midpoint around 55, the low point and plot point two around 75 to 85, the climax, and the resolution in the last pages.

1:17Read your outline as a whole. Is there a heartbeat in every act? Does the midpoint really change the direction of the story? Does each sequence end on a turn that pushes us into the next one?

1:30Write in passes, not in one go. First pass, get to the end, even if it's bad. A finished bad draft is worth more than a perfect first act. Second pass, structure, with the outline open. Third pass, scenes and dialogue, with the assistant as a sparring partner.

1:51Every feature also needs a B story, a second line, often a relationship, that runs under the main plot and carries the theme. In a heist film, the A story is the heist, the B story might be a father trying to win back his son. Give your B story its own beats in the outline, and use the heart label for them, so you can see it weave through the acts.

2:14And know your genre's promises. A thriller promises tension in every sequence. A comedy promises a laugh every page or so. A horror film promises fear before the end of act one. Label those beats. Tension, comedy, action, and check the rhythm across the whole outline. Long gaps with no label of your genre are where the audience starts checking their phone.

2:39And use the page count as your clock. A sequence that runs 25 pages is probably two sequences. A first act that ends on page 40 means the audience waited too long.

2:52Your exercise, if your story is a feature, create its eight sequences in the outline. Place the nine structure labels and check where they fall. Next, writing a series episode. is a feature of the text. writing a series of videos And the text.
