Set up: Needs to occur in the fort 2-3mins, this is the introduction of the main character and the story-world it needs to happen within this time frame in order to allow the audience to develop some form of emotion attachment.
Equilibrium: Everything is as it is
Enticing Incident: This is the event that pitches the story forward
Plot Point 1: Where the character gets a chance to do what they desire
Midpoint: Where the character gets the closest to what they desire. If the film was to end here then it looks as if they have everything they wanted.
Plot Point 2: After the brief euphoria that is the midpoint something happens to send the characters desire crashing back to nothing but a distant hope, they need to build themselves back up again/prove themselves/get out of a low predicament.
Resolution: Everything is in equilibrium, based on the story-world this could be anything from your character getting their happily ever after or dying. As long as it coincides with the story-world.
As well as this within your story there needs to be these three things, which is automatic, something you don't need to plan to film, but without them the film will just feel empty....
Causality: Why does one thing lead to another
Time: When is it all taking place
Space: Where are they, are the event happening all in the same or different space?
