The subject of a
screenplay is defined as the action—what happens—and the character—whom it happens to.
There are two kinds of action—
physical action : a car chase and emotional action; a crying.
We can broke the concept of character down into two components—interior and
exterior.
Define of screenplay structure.
The definition of screenplay
structure is "a linear progression of related incidents,
episodes, and events leading to a dramatic resolution. That means your story moves forward from
beginning to end.
We have got approximately ten pages (about ten minutes) to establish three things to your reader or audience:
(1) who is your main character?
(2) what is the dramatic premise—that is, what's your story about? and
(3) what is the dramatic situation—the circumstances surrounding our story?

What's the best way to open your screenplay?
The
first thing you have to know: the resolution that is. the ending of our story?
Resolution means solution; how is our story resolved? What is the solution? Does our character live or die? Get married or divorced? Win the race or not? The ending is the first thing we must know before we begin writing.
Our story always moves forward—it follows a path, a direction, a line of progression from beginning to end. Direction is defined as a line of development, the path along which something lies.

Resolution
means "a solution or explanation' When we are laying
out our story line, building it, putting it together, scene by scene, act by
act, we must first determine the
resolution. The resolution must be clear
in our mind before we write one word on paper; it is context, it holds
the ending in place.
Our story is really a journey, the end its destination. It seems that one of the major difficulties screenwriters deal with is the problem of endings: how to end your screenplay so it work effectively, so it's satisfying and fulfilling, so it makes an emotional impact on the reader and audience, so it's not contrived or predictable, so it's real, believable, not forced or fabricated; an ending that resolves all the main story points; an ending, in short, that works. The end of one thing is always the beginning of something else.
In Kaka Muttai the kids got PIza how the piza seller solve the problem . Like wise In IRUTHI SUTRU whether she got national award or not?whether the coach make her winner or looser

The screenwriter's job is
to keep the reader turning pages. The first ten pages of our screenplay are
absolutely the most crucial. Within the first ten pages, a reader will know
whether your story is working or not, whether it's been set up or not.
An
opening can be visually active and exciting, grabbing the audience
immediately. Another kind of opening is expository, slower-paced in
establishing character and situation: Our
story determines the type of opening we choose. The
opening of our screenplay has to be well thought out and visually designed to
illustrate what our story is about.
Before we write one shot, one word of dialogue on paper, we must know four things: ending, beginning, Plot Point I, and Plot Point II. In that order. these four elements, these four incidents, episodes, or events, are the cornerstones, the foundation, of our screenplay.

The opening of our
script will determine whether the reader continues reading our screenplay or
not. The reader must know three things within these first few pages of the
script:
the character—who the story is about;
the dramatic (or comedic) premise—what the story is about; and
the situation—the circumstances surrounding the action.
Within those first ten pages, the reader is going to make a decision about whether he/she likes or dislikes the material.

what makes a good ending?
First of all, by satisfying the
story; audience want to feel full and satisfied. The
ending comes out of the beginning. Someone,
or something, initiates an action, and how that action is resolved becomes the
story line of the film. Endings
and beginnings: two sides of the same coin.
