What is a Story Beat? |
A story beat is a structural element of a narrative that’s used to mark an intentional shift in tone. Writers use story beats to structure their narratives and control emotional arcs of their characters. In screenwriting, story beats are sometimes written into the scripts. Although less common in practice now, many writers used to write “BEAT” or “a beat” in their scripts to communicate a shift in tone and move the story forward to a new stage. You might also see "beat" in a screenplay to be intended as a pause, either before an action or a bit of dialogue.
Writing Beats Examples When a character realizes something To reveal a twist When a character is “backstabbed” |
