Note: Shots are a Beat-specific feature and not standard Fountain markup. They might print out with an exclamation mark in front of them in other Fountain editors.
If you need a line that is visually similar to a scene heading but doesn’t create a new scene, you can use the Beat-exclusive shot line type. Shots will stay together with any following block (action, dialogue, etc.) when paginating, so they’ll never be left alone at the end of a page.
