The renowned writer/director Billy Wilder offered this piece of advice on screenwriting and filmmaking: “Grab ’em by the throat and never let go.”

This is what your first act, specifically, your initial 10 pages, should accomplish. The first act serves several purposes. It introduces your main characters, the setting, the time period, the theme, genre, and tone. This is the act where we meet both the protagonist and the antagonist.

The first step in painting a seascape is to create a color palette. At first glance, an untrained eye may assume that all one needs is blue and white for highlighting the wave crests. However, unless aiming for a crude style, this approach would be a mistake.

The sea is composed of numerous hues. Upon closer observation, one can discover shades and colors that might have been overlooked. Browns, greens, and purples hide within the varied tones of the basic blue. The darkest shades exist in the deepest waters, while lighter hues appear …
