Syd Field has a 3 Act structure theory.
The first act would last approximately a quarter of the film. In it the main characters and the relationships between them would be established. It would also include an incident, the first turning point, which is related to the main character/s.
The second act would last approximately two quaters of the film. It will involve increase of the action and development of the narrative, events and the story. The main protagonist/s will attempt solving thbe first turning point, but instead make things worse. The main protagonist would also develop skills to help solve the turning point, which is their character development and they will often have a co-protagonist for assistance.
The third act wuld last approximately the last quarter of the film. It will involve the climax, which will be the second turning point, where all the tensions will be brought to the highest. It will answer all dramatic questions of the plot and sub-plots and resolution would be established.
