Topic : Re: The Protagonist and the 'Mid Point' of a Screenplay I'm currently working through the preparation process before I start to write my first feature length screenplay, helped in no small part by - selfpublishingguru.com

Your midpoint should be the false victory of the false defeat.

The true victory/defeat occurs at the end of the screenplay, so the false one should occur in the middle, around page 50-55.

So in a love story it's when they finally get together, which then sets up the end of the second act where they typically break up, or find something very wrong with each other.

In a story I worked on, the mid point involved the hero achieving his revenge - only to realize that he killed the wrong person (end of act two).
