Breaking Down Act One In a Screenplay

As readers, we read a lot of scripts. We are trained to find the hidden gem in each story so that we can get that script to the screen.
Most of the time, the screenplay will have room for improvement.
Development is to be expected and can be one of the most rewarding aspects of the job. Seeing a screenplay improve and come to life is very rewarding.
Where do we begin? Act One, of course!
A lot of people talk about the first ten pages as being the most important part of a screenplay because they are responsible for solidifying the first impression. The first ten pages are indeed important, but they are just part of what happens at the start of a screenplay. Act One is packed full of important events.
As readers, we can really help a screenplay burst out of the gate in a spectacular fashion by really understanding the nuances of Act One.
