The pause feels heavy when it’s the echo of something left unsaid, when the breath before it is longer than the breath after. I look for that small, almost invisible pressure in the scene—something that pulls the audience into the silence. If the pause is just a gap, the moment feels empty. If it’s intentional, it’s the quiet that lets the audience feel the weight of the character’s choice. It's all about that unsaid weight that sits between the lines.
