Screenplay 1.1 - What is a screenplay?

ANSWER:
ACT I: Set-up -> plot point 1 -> ACT II: Confrontation -> plot point 2 -> ACT III: Resolution

Setup:
The story is set up, the characters are established,the situation is shown, we find out what the story is about and what he relationships of the characters are.

Confrontation:
The main character(s) needs in the story is challenged. (S)he faces obstacles that keep them from achieving their goal in the story. There is a conflict.

Resolution:
Unlike an ending, a resolution is the solution to the problem put forth by the story.

Plot points:
are incidents that occur that will ultimately change the course of the story from one act to another. It changes the flow of the screenplay to a different direction. Act I turns into act II, act II turns into act III.

Disproportionate

At the moment, summer is crazy and I smell wood. Man, saw-freaking-dust! in my face! this dude called Mario is slicing up my wooden floor just to make it fit. it's crazy! He's doing everything with sunglasses on. That's what happens when water gets in under wooden floors. Note: Never get wooden flooring close to any kind of water. No Luigi today. Just Mario.

9 days pass. Still no news. Maybe time for a little retail therapy? I dunno.

To film or not to film? Too many DSLR nowadays, puts me off snapping things.

Money makes the world go round but I don't have enough of it for therapy. I've been binge book buying recently and I have 10+ untouched/ half read books. They're all in a box and in a different place so I can't read them yet. Wait till things settle down then I'll dive into my Murakami's and Neil Gaiman's. For the time being, I will try and learn to be a Warrior of Light. Here's a snippet:

The warrior of light concentrates on the small miracles of daily life.

He is capable of seeing what is beautiful because he carries beauty within himself, for the world is a mirror and gives back to each man the reflection of his own face. The warrior knows his faults and limitations, but he does all he can to maintain a good humour in moments of crisis.

The world is, after all, doing its best to help him, even though everything around him seems to be saying the opposite.

-Paolo Coelho, Manual of the Warrior of Light

times of freedom and uncertain future

I have been here for four and a half years and have not been to Watson's bay even once until recently. Some might embrace this freedom and the luxury of time i have at the moment but in all truth, the weight of choice is sometimes overbearing. It is very daunting when you're at a fork in the road that determines the uncertain future.However you hate it. You still have to face it sometime. And make it soon.

the crossing

I am a bit inspired by a few people (and their photographs) that I've seen on the internet. I wonder how they do it.
