#5 "beat outline"

Submitted
by DEFIANT Comics creator Pauline
Weiss!
According
to Pauline, "This outline is
the
first piece of writing that I produced for Defiant, well before I was hired
as an editor. I recorded the plot sessions and took notes,
then
developed a format for the beat outline that isolated the flow of the story
and preserved the detail, flavor, bits of dialog and visual
notes
that were discussed in the plot session." She also added "The notes sidebar
later evolved into the cover page format on the Broadway scripts"
