Three-act Structure

 three-act-play,
Act I comprises the first quarter of the screenplay. (For a two hour movie, Act I would last approximately 30 minutes.)
Act II comprises the next two quarters of the film. (For a two hour movie, Act II would last approximately 60 minutes.)
Act III comprises the final quarter of the film. (For a two hour movie, Act III would be the final 30 minutes.)

how is this 3 act structure?
i mean when come o the decision making, whether the template should go for 1 day workshop, 3 session for (1) departure, (2) initiation, (3) return? or become 8 session, each scene for one session?


melinda is initiate for facilitator sheet, i am helping in this as well.
when we look at the therapeutic dramatic role playing, we look at the time, impact, and also the ‘digestion" of the character...


so, i suggested, we try to fix this with group consensus :)
before me and melinda moved on wards
will see how........
haha

  1. Thanks for taking initiative to work out this structure and the research done, as well as asking questions that make us move forward.Looking back, it is all these little little parts that each of us contribute that make it possible for the Mission Impossible to take flesh!

  2. Can't hardly wait to witness your story ...remember its not to be a fixed prescription, it is a starting point to use it as a resource and its up to the facilitator to adapt it to the context of the specific group and participants.
