Just an added note to ecrane3's excellent advice: Beautyberries don't have to be pruned at all, other than removal of dead limbs, and will grow up to 10' with erect-arching branches. However, they can begin to look ratty with age and since they bloom and berry on new wood, it is often recommended to cut them back to within 6" of the ground in late winter. I personally think the one-year growth of arching branches looks very attractive.
