Scoopicman Oct 4, 2015 #4 There are Dialogue Beats. The "pause," as the previous poster pointed out. There are Story Structure Beats. See Blake Snyder's "Beat Sheet", HERE. There are Pacing Beats. See the SHAWSHANK example at this Wiki LINK (Sfoster was trying to link to these.) There are Scene Beats. Check out the McKee paragraph on the same link (under the SHAWSHANK example).
