Re: Midpoint
Sorry, I was more reacting to where the conversation had gone, rather than your original question.
Yeah, I might think about at a midpoint when I'm thinking about a movie... I do tend to think of movies in three acts, even though I'm not a slave to any page count or paradigm. That said, I think about midpoints as big reversals or escalations... and I often have more than one.
I think the more I write, the more basic I get. Do I have a conflict that I believe will carry a movie? What are the great scenes/set pieces that it promises? How does it get complicated? How does it get solved?
