Story Basics Script Writing Part 3 ( STORY BEATS )

( STORY BEATS )

" I believe, one's choices in film-making always reflect one's essential spirit, the values one holds within one self, one belief, one's convictions, hopes, fears, and anxieties, one's social and personal concerns, and one's artistic sensibility."

                                                                                                     - Govind Nihalani

 In the previous blog of screen writing I mentioned about Logline, Now in all the three act of Logline, the components in the three act's of logline, in all the act there is something which happens to be the turning point of story, moves story in different direction that turning point is called *STORY BEATS.*



 The term Beat's in the film-making describe all kind of thing, that makes pretty confusing, there are

1. Emotional Beat.
2.Beat in acting.
3.Action Beat.

In this blog, we'll be talking about the Story Beat's, the changing point or turning point of a movie.

In our previous blog we have already read about (Act 1) the Inciting Incident, the moment when a protagonist decides to go after the objective to move forward in (Act 2) this is also an important beat. In (Act 1), the protagonist thinks about many things, his situation and all that is called a (Debate Beat), this beat is powerful, because it shows that the protagonist has considered a life with an objective which makes it more powerful.




** In the movie ( Juno- Fox Search Light) the inciting incident when a Teenage gets to know that she is Pregnant, she decides to have an abortion this is the refusal of call beat, she then changes her mind to give her baby up for adoption. this changing of mind is called is called Debate Beat and the situation makes the story move to (Act 2) the main part of a story.    

In (Act 2) the protagonist usually goes after their objective and this the movie where it starts to feel like a thriller.

Usually, in the middle of (Act 2), there is a beat called (MidPoint) beat. Something happens really out of control, and when a protagonist hits that point ( MidPoint Beat) there is no turning back.






** The (MidPoint) of a movie ( Assurance) when Tioni teaches Dia about her power and magic nothing remain same as it was before.**

Another beat in (Act 2) which is lot common which is called ( All is Lost) this is where a protagonist meets with some incident where he gets shocked gets in depression, emotional point, the family member may die, relationship might end, loose job, need someone help to move in (Act 3) 

** In the Movie Beauty and the Beast-Disney we see (all is lost beat) as Bell is locked in the cell with her father and rest of them go and search for beasts.**







These beats play the powerful role when done well. It will perform a good script,  a good script plays a good movie.

These Beats are not invited by me there are some books I have mentioned the links below for those books which I prefer right now for future and aspiring Film Makers.

Filmmaking Tips - How to be a Film Maker ? "Know Your Video" - Part 1

  Filmmaking Tips -  How to be a Film Maker ? Know Your Video - Part 1  W hat is your video? One way to start to answer this question is to tell us your genre. Genre is the one-word descriptor that sets our exceptions for the video. Genres are most familiar to us in film, like action, horror, sci-fi, corrupt-cop-against-the-system, bio-pics, musicals, and sports stories. You probably know immediately which genres you love and which you can't stand. So does your audience, which is the point of thinking in genre. Genres come with certain built-in structures that the audience expects you to deliver. In the romantic comedy genre, two people "meet cute" and hate each other, fall in love,have enormous trouble based on an obstacle or misunderstanding, and then fall back in love again.
