Beat
Änderungen in Version 2 (von improwiki, 16.05.2015 22:48)
- A beat is the moment in which the player has the impression that the running scene ends, must end, or will be ending.
- This may be,
- - if the scene has reached a climax,
- - a gag;
- - In the regular flow of the scene, when one asks himself a question, the question can be explained through insertion -- in particular by spelling out.
- - when a dramatic, unproductive sequence threatens, e.g. a car journey, that contributes nothing to the undertaking or the suspense curve,
-- If the basic question is answered (CBZO)- +- If the basic question is answered (CROW)
- The identified beat can lead to, that
- - a non-actor has an impulse and enters the stage and acts
- - one wants for himself to get a (further) reaction from the audience,
- - a new/different scene begins
- - the scene/the play is completed
- - a time jump happens
- If the immediate interruption after a Beat is missing, it may occur that the tension curve of the scene goes (drastically) down, becoming uninteresting as well as boring. It then frequently happens that a "Laberszene" (see verbiage) arises. Beginners often do not recognize the Beat yet or they don't dare to interrupt the scene, even if they feel the impulse.
- With the help of the game Freeze Tag, one can train to recognize and observe the beat well.
