The standard screenplay format for theatrical and streaming feature films. Typically 90 to 120 pages, where one page equals roughly one minute of screen time. Feature scripts follow a three-act structure and must sustain a single story across a full running time.
High-stakes physical conflict driving the narrative forward. Set pieces, chases, and escalating danger define the pacing of an action feature.
Character-driven humor built around misunderstanding, social awkwardness, or absurd situations. Comedy features lean on dialogue, timing, and escalating comedic stakes.
Character and relationship-driven storytelling where internal conflict matters as much as external events. Drama features explore human experience through authentic emotional stakes.
Suspense-driven narratives where information control and escalating tension keep the audience on edge. Thrillers rely on what the audience knows — and what they don't.
Fear-driven storytelling that exploits vulnerability, isolation, and the unknown. Horror features build dread through atmosphere and release it through scares.
Speculative storytelling that explores big ideas through a futuristic, technological, or alternate-reality lens. The best sci-fi uses its world to examine human nature.
Love stories driven by chemistry, obstacles, and emotional vulnerability between two characters. The relationship is the plot — everything else is context.
Stories centered on the commission, investigation, or consequences of criminal acts. Crime features explore morality through the lens of law and transgression.
Puzzle-driven narratives where the audience pieces together clues alongside the protagonist. Mystery features are built on questions, misdirection, and revelation.
Mythic storytelling with magical elements, imaginary worlds, and archetypal conflicts between good and evil. Fantasy features require comprehensive world-building within cinematic constraints.
Frontier stories set in lawless or transitional landscapes where individual morality confronts societal chaos. Westerns are defined by their setting, moral codes, and showdowns.
Combat and conflict stories that examine the human cost of organized violence. War features balance large-scale military action with intimate personal stakes.
Stories told through the integration of song and dance with narrative. Musical features require seamless transitions between dialogue scenes and musical numbers.
True stories about real people, dramatized for the screen. Biographical features must find the narrative within a life — not just chronicle events chronologically.
Period-set narratives that dramatize real or fictional events within a specific historical context. Historical features use the past to illuminate universal themes.
Dark, cynical narratives driven by morally compromised protagonists, femmes fatales, and a fatalistic worldview. Noir features dwell in shadows — literally and thematically.
Stories involving ghosts, demons, psychic phenomena, or other forces beyond natural explanation. Supernatural features blend the uncanny with emotional truth.
Stories accessible to all ages that balance adventure, humor, and heart. Family features must engage children without condescending and entertain adults without alienating kids.
Athletic competition as a vehicle for stories about perseverance, teamwork, and personal redemption. The game is the arena — the real story is the human struggle.
Power, corruption, and idealism colliding in the halls of government, campaigns, and institutions. Political features dramatize how systems shape — and break — the people within them.
