3 Act Structure

 In your own words, summarize each act of the three-act structure and explain what its role in the story is.

Act one sets up the film. It gives you a feeling of what the story's about, and who the characters are. It shows some minor challenges and problems, as well as the location. In the second act, the character is about to reach the big goal, but everything falls apart. They're surrounded by obstacle after obstacle. The final act is the resolution. The character gets what they want (or not).
