Narrative framework
The structural pattern this video runs on
Framework
The Accomplished Fact
The narrative creates humor and satisfaction through dramatic irony, by presenting a goal and a minor obstacle, only to reveal that the goal has already been achieved before the story even began. The viewer is let in on the secret from the start.
- 1
The Aspiration Statement
A text overlay clearly articulates a specific desire or goal of the protagonist.
- 2
The Dismissive Obstacle
A second text overlay introduces a minor conflict or obstacle, typically a skeptical or non-committal response from another party.
- 3
The Ironic Payoff
A final text overlay delivers the punchline, revealing that the protagonist has unilaterally achieved the goal, subverting the obstacle. This text works in tandem with the ever-present visual proof.
