Best Answer

'Beat' when used within a film script denotes a short pause. It is open to interpretation by both the actor and the director.

During rewrites, a screenwriter would probably make better use of the pause, and replace 'beat' with 'sigh' or 'reflects' or 'considers': some physical or emotional addition to the scene. Some action that moves the story forward.
