This is an example from Blake Snyder for a 110 page script: Beat Sheet Page count110pp- Opening Image :1, Theme Stated :5, The Set Up:1 to 10, The Catalyst:12, Debate:12 to 25, Break into II:25, B Story:30, Fun and Games:20 to 55, Midpoint:55, The Bad Guys Close In:55 to 75, All is Lost :75, Dark Night of the Soul:75 to 85, Break Into Act III:85, The Finale:85 to 110, Final Image:110. John Truby states that there are beat sheets specific to genre?
