Screenplay structure is fairly simple and most of us plot it out in our outlines or beat sheets. There are general page numbers where acts should break, but it can vary with genre.

Good writers use brevity to describe what is happening in a scene. If you started writing as a novelist and have switched to screenplays, this could be one of the biggest challenges you’ll face.
