Chapter 5

The Moment of Truth at the Midpoint

THE MIDPOINT IS your story’s second major Plot Point. It lands at the 50% mark, halfway through the Second Act, and is the most dramatic turning point in your story.

The Midpoint’s primary function is to present the Moment of Truth. This is the moment when the character finally realizes the central truth about the nature of the story’s conflict.

It’s instructive when watching movies to observe the protagonist’s facial expressions prior to the Moment of Truth and then afterward. Before the Midpoint, he’ll often look baffled as he struggles to keep up with the conflict. Then the light dawns in his eyes at the Midpoint, and from that moment on, there’s a look of knowing determination on his face.
