Beat

Änderungen in Version 3 (von improwiki, 16.05.2015 22:51)

  • 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 (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.
