Establishing Beats

I analyzed the scene I'm working on by dividing it into beats. I found this really helped me understand the scene itself and build a better chemistry with the other character in the scene. I have a better idea of what she's trying to do and her intentions and it helped me better understand my character and his intentions. Each beat revealed something new that helped me in a different way. I feel like I may be getting tactics and beats confused but somehow they're intertwined because the mood of the beat will lead to how you react and that reaction has a tactic whether it's intentional or not. Hopefully the more I learn new things about this style of acting, the easier it will get.
