如何给短片写大纲：段落、节拍与标签
如何一步步给短片写大纲：四个段落、七个故事节拍及其标签，为 The Night Ferry 现场搭建。然后用一个测试告诉你大纲是否成立。
在这一课中你将学到
- 如何在 Outline view 中工作，使用它的轨道和加号按钮
- 如何把一部短片分成四个段落
- 如何添加七个带大纲行的故事节拍
- 如何给节拍贴标签，并发现缺失的结构节拍
- 如何用拖放调整故事结构
- 告诉你大纲是否成立的朗读测试
这一课教你一步步给短片写大纲，在 ScreenWeaver 的 Outline view 中搭建 The Night Ferry 的完整大纲。从写有一句话梗概的标题卡片开始，你会添加四个段落：The Last Crossing（最后一次摆渡）、The Passenger（乘客）、The Fog（大雾）和 Home（归家），然后是七个故事节拍，每个节拍都有一行简短的大纲行。
接着你会给每个节拍贴上标签，从 Opening / Setup 到 Resolution，并注意到轨道上的颜色让结构一目了然。一个缺失的高潮标签揭示出：在短片里，反转和高潮可以是同一个时刻。然后你会明白，当每个节拍都是一张可以拖放的卡片时，调整结构为什么不花任何代价。最后是一个简单的测试：像给朋友讲故事一样，一张卡片一张卡片地把大纲大声读出来。

0:04Time to build. In this lecture, we'll create the full outline of the Night Ferry in the outline view. The title, four sequences, and seven story beats with their labels.
0:16Switch on the outline view in the sidebar. At the top, the title card with the log line we wrote in its outline line. Below, the empty tracks, sequences, story beats, and scenes. Every track ends with a plus button to add a card.
0:33First, the sequences, the four chapters of our film. Click the plus on the sequence track and name it The Last Crossing. Then, The Passenger, The Fog, and Home. Four chapters, and you can already read the shape of the story.
0:51Now, the beats. Under The Last Crossing, add a beat The Rule. In its outline line, Elias closes The Last Crossing, no passengers after midnight. Then, under The Passenger, The Girl in Yellow, and He Let's Her On.
1:09Under The Fog, The Engine Dies, and Who Are You? Under Home, The Compass, and Home. Seven beats. Read them from left to right. It's the whole film in seven moments.
1:24Now, the labels. Every beat card has a header with quick actions. Click the label button on The Rule and choose Opening slash Setup. The Girl in Yellow, Inciting Incident. He Let's Her On. Plot Point One. The Engine Dies, Midpoint, plus Tension slash Suspense. Who Are You? Low Point. The Compass? Plot Point Two, plus Heart slash Emotional. And Home? Resolution.
1:56Look at the colors along the track. The structure of the film at a glance. Something's missing, though. There's no climax label. In a short film, the twist and the climax can be the same moment. Add climax to the compass. That's three labels, the maximum for one beat.
2:15And because everything is a card, restructuring costs nothing. Want to test the compass reveal earlier? Drag the card one place to the left and read the outline again. Not better? Drag it back. One second, no page rewritten.
2:31Before you leave the outline, do one last thing. Read it out loud, card by card, from left to right, like a story you're telling a friend. The Rule. The Girl in Yellow. He lets her on. The Engine Dies. Who Are You? The Compass. Home. If you can tell the whole film in 30 seconds, and your friend wants to know what happens next, your outline is working.
2:59Your exercise? Build the outline of your own story. Your sequences? At least seven beats, with their outline lines and labels. Then read it from left to right and ask, does every beat change something? Next, we turn beats into scenes. The Ends.
