While there is no set format for a beat sheet, most screenwriters find it helpful to divide their story into three acts: setup, conflict, and resolution. This allows the writer to focus on the characters and emotions driving the story rather than getting bogged down in the details. Unlike a traditional outline, which chronologically lists the story’s events, a beat sheet highlights the most important scenes and dialogue beats. Without them, stories would be dull and predictable! What Is a Beat Sheet in Screenwriting?Ī beat sheet is a tool screenwriters use to outline the key plot points of their story. In short, story beats are the key ingredients that make up a good story. They can also introduce new characters or reveal important information about existing ones.

Narwhal is always full of optimism and positivity and Jelly is, well, not, but I love how they are friends and help balance each other out to a half glass of water - not half full or half empty. Jelly is skeptical, but then he receives a mysterious present. In this book, Jelly is a little grumpy about the cold water of winter, and Narwhal is excited and full of optimism about the Merry Mermicorn, who sometimes brings gifts, and is part mermaid and part unicorn. My daughter saw it on the library pile when I picked it up and was ready to devour it in the car on the way home, but I made her wait for me! We really loved this gentle story and took turns reading for the characters, and we liked the little story that Narwhal makes with Jelly towards the end, it was so silly. I was so excited for this book and we loved it. |
