"How to outline a scene for a screenplay, beat-by-beat" - RynoRyder's Vl...

I'm currently writing a new screenplay and I am trying to document the various steps I go through to do it.  I want to showcase the amount of work that goes into crafting a well-told and entertaining story.



So far I've finished my rough outline for each scene, now I break down each scene into "beats."  This is so very important, because if a scene isn't entertaining, then you will lose the audience.  It's a laborious process, but I think 100% neccessary in order to tell a great story.



I would say 99% of "screenwriters," whether aspiring or working, don't put this much time and work into outlining their story beforehand, and that's why 99% of screenplays are garbage.
