You have to have a theme
- In taxi driver the theme is loneliness
Find a metaphor
- In taxi driver, that was the cabbie, the perfect expression of urban loneliness
Find a plot
- You push the theme through the metaphor and you should come out with the plot

Act 1
- The backstory
  - Is an event that generally occurs before the movie begins. It is usually some definitive past trauma that affects the character’s attitude and behavior throughout the movie.
- The catalyst
  - Kicks things out of balance and gives the central character a new problem, need, goal, desire, or mission.
Act 2
- The big event
  - Changes the life of the central character in a big way. In some cases, the Catalyst motivates or leads to the Big Event.
- The midpoint
  - About halfway through the story another major event occurs. The central character often becomes fully committed. From the midpoint on, the central characters take stronger actions, perhaps even desperate actions that threaten to compromise their values.
Act 3
- The crisis
  - The point when all seems lost, or when the central character faces a crucial decision. What’s the worst thing that can happen to your character? This is it.
- The showdown
  - The climax or showdown follows on the heels of the Crisis. Often, something or someone spurs the character on to the showdown. The goal is on the line, including the theme or movie message and/or some important value.
- The realization
  - The central character realizes something about themselves or we’re shown some visible or spoken evidence of their growth.

The difference between life and the movies is that a script has to make sense, and life doesn’t. ~Joseph L. Mankiewicz
