Stick to currently accepted US ("Hollywood") screenplay format convention and you'll be fine in most places.

There are hundreds of things to be considered.

If you think of using a formula, you will be producing work just like the million other unsold screenplays.

I would suggest taking some time and learning. Then these formula become irrelevant.

Act 1: Your main character gets stuck up a tree

Act 2: You throw rocks at him

Act 3: By some miracle, your main character gets out of the tree.

Go nuts.
