Every first Tuesday of the month, we publish a structural breakdown of a popular film. This month we did Avatar, last month you voted for Shaun of the Dead.
Pick a film you know well or one you can watch over the next two weeks, so we can compare notes.

Each Wednesday in 2010, TSD challenges you to a mini-survey that is in some way related to screenwriting or filmmaking. To suggest a topic, send Solmaaz Yazdiha a note and include the word “poll” in the subject field. The archive is here.
Karel Segers wrote his first produced screenplay at age 17. Today he is a story analyst with experience in acquisition, development and production. He has trained students worldwide, and worked with half a dozen Academy Award nominees. Karel speaks more European languages than he has fingers on his left hand, which he is still trying to find a use for in his hometown of Sydney, Australia. The languages, not the fingers.

LOL!! Would love to, but I have no access to a legal copy of the film yet and my memory is no good for a step breakdown.
Did you see any of the filming when that happened in Amman?
I’ve seen Die Hard broken down and analysed in many screenwriting books, it’s very HJ. Sherlock Holmes would be refreshing to read given it’s recent. Just sayin’ …
