I'm translating a script which keeps refering to "pulsos dramáticos". Are these dramatic episodes or parts of the script or is there a more specific film term? I haven't been able to find any answers so far.
Thanks

dramatic pulses / moments of dramatic pulse
these are what keep the story "moving along" and hold the audience's attention
Scott's version isn't the full text, but the abridgements, to my mind, only highlight the dramatic pulses of this riveting play.

Spreading out the dramatic pulse between a cast of characters dilutes the flow. Sure you can get away with it in long forms like novels, but you want the rhythm of a short story to be as tight as can be.

story points
Story points are the moments where the changing action can set different units within the script.

luego....
Este pulso dramático debería quedar abierto. ¿Qué harán? ¿Cómo saldrán de ésta?
