Example Output
Formatted Scene Example:
INT. COFFEE SHOP - MORNING
JAKE (30s, tense) sits at a corner table, leg bouncing.
SARAH (28s, composed) approaches with two cups.
SARAH
We need to talk about the money.
JAKE
(defensive)
I told you, it was an investment.
SARAH
An investment? You gambled our savings.
She sits. They lock eyes—unspoken years between them.
Beat Sheet Example:
- Inciting Incident: Sarah discovers the missing funds
- First Plot Point: Jake confesses he invested in his brother's startup
- Midpoint: The startup fails; Jake faces consequences at work
- Low Point: Sarah threatens to leave
- Climax: Jake rebuilds trust through action, not words
- Resolution: Couple renegotiates their financial partnership
Character Arc Analysis: Jake transforms from denial → accountability → humility over three acts. Each scene must show incremental progress, with dialogue revealing his shifting perspective.
