Narrative framework
The structural pattern this video runs on
Framework
The Audio Recontextualization
Using a pre-existing, unrelated audio clip (often an interview or pop culture moment) to visually tell a new story or promote a product, where the words of the audio are given a new, literal or metaphorical meaning by the visuals.
- 1
The Thematic Declaration
The subject lip-syncs a statement from the audio that establishes a core theme (a color, an action, a feeling), visually linking it to the product or subject at hand.
- 2
The Prompted Reveal
The audio track poses a question, which serves as a narrative device to prompt the subject to more clearly showcase or interact with the visual element, solidifying its role as the 'answer'.
- 3
The Brand Ethos Answer
The subject lip-syncs the 'answer' from the audio. The answer is not literal but instead conveys a personality trait, a value, or an emotional state that aligns with the desired perception of the product or brand.
- 4
The Aspirational Context
The final line of the audio is used to place the subject/product within a specific, desirable social scenario or event, creating an aspirational link for the viewer through expressive performance.

Got some blue going on. Where is that inspiration coming from? I don't know. I like a little edge and a little pop in my hair, so I wanted to add something different, especially for the teen vote party.
