Movie Moments

I like to call them movie moments. What are they? Moments which make life and drama interesting. How do they work? By changing the consciousness or awareness of a character. Aka dramatic beats, in these instances your character learns something they didn’t know about themselves, their situation or those around them. From small to large, dramatic beats drive story and make scenes hum.

For me, a small dramatic beat occurs when Alanna comments how hot I look in the close up. Wow, up until now Alanna was just another student. Suddenly I am aware of new information which will affect things to come. If only Alanna had said nothing... but then we would have no drama.
