I love that comparison – just like a heart rate tells you if someone’s calm or on edge, a scene’s beat can signal rising tension or a release. Actors read those shifts instinctively, while I hunt for patterns in data; both rely on spotting subtle changes and acting on them. It’s a neat idea, but the mapping isn’t always one‑to‑one – a good scene can have pauses that feel like a slow‑down rather than a flat line. Still, keeping an eye on rhythm in both worlds can help catch those hidden cues early.
