Kiumars Pourahmad, film director, screenwriter, film editor and film producer

Follow a story structure to hit the dramatic beats of your script.The 3-act structure is one of the most common you’ll see in a screenplay. When you plan your scenes, organize them so they all logically flow into one another to tell your story. Keep raising the tension until you hit the climax, which should be the most dramatic part of your script. Finish the script with a resolution to wrap up all of the events.You can experiment with other story structures too. For example, you could show multiple timelines to show characters at different points in their lives.
