Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Injustice Chronicle

A chronological breakdown of a conflict between a protagonist and an authority figure, using narration and 'insider' information (like lip-reading) to frame the protagonist's sense of being wronged and build a case for the audience.

  1. 1

    The Inciting Incident

    Set the scene by showing an initial state of disorder and introducing the key actors involved in the impending conflict.

  2. 2

    The Authoritative Intervention

    An authority figure steps in to impose order, but their actions become the new focal point of the conflict, creating a direct clash.

  3. 3

    The Protagonist's Rebellion

    The protagonist and their allies react defiantly to the authority's decision, escalating the tension and drawing in more figures.

  4. 4

    The Personal Accusation

    The conflict becomes personal as an authority figure singles out the protagonist, creating a direct and focused antagonist-protagonist dynamic.

  5. 5

    The Negative Consequence

    The direct result of the conflict is shown to be negative for the protagonist, validating their frustration and raising the emotional stakes.

  6. 6

    The Emotional Confrontation

    The protagonist directly and emotionally confronts the authority figure during a break in the action, releasing pent-up frustration and verbalizing their sense of injustice.

  7. 7

    The Rational Appeal

    After the event concludes, the protagonist presents a calm, logical breakdown of their grievance to the authority figure, appealing to reason and fairness.

I told you. That's his basket. Where do you want? Right tier. Right there. That's bull man. Braun's like, well, then I'm switching. AR is like, yeah. I'm switching too. And apparently, that was the last drop for John Goble, yells at Reeves. Stop causing trouble. Finally, the ball goes up. Chet tipped to Caruso. Caruso ends up finding Keisyn Wallace in the corner to push the lead to 13, drills it, Lakers tier out. That's some bull for you to talk like talk to me like that, you are causing trouble. Don't fucking yell at me. Bull rank goes final, reads overtime with John Goble. You rank to me. Uh-huh. Yep. You don't gotta yell right at my face. I didn't do nothing.
