According to the book Screenplay by Syd Field, a plot-point is an incident or event that hooks into the action and spins it around in another direction. At about 27 minutes into a movie (or 27 pages in the script) the first plot point occurs. Act One introduces us to the characters goals; everything in the plot has been set up. Then there is an event—the plot point–that leads the movie into Act Two or the confrontation portion, where characters meet obstacles to achiving their goals. Likewise, at about 87 minutes into the movie, there is a plot-point or sudden twist that leads into the resolution of the story, Act Three See a film of your choice and in a paper of 300-500 words, try to identify its three act structure and the first and second plot points. Defend your choices as to what the plot points are and where the acts begin. How do these plot points spin the action in a new direction? Or perhaps the film you’ve selected does not seem to be consistent with Field’s theory. That could be! Is its plot satisfying to you, in spite of this fact?
