# Story Impact and Intensity

Scenes in Scryla can include two optional narrative signals:

**Story Impact**: the type of narrative event happening in the scene  
(for example: Revelation, Confrontation, Fallout).

**Intensity**: a rough indicator of how dramatically significant the moment is  
(for example: Low, Medium, High).

These signals help you visualise pacing and structure, especially when using Timeline View.
