Framework

The Event-Reaction-Reward Framework

  1. 1

    The Inciting Incident

    The top visual panel establishes the core action and is paired with data ('178mph') and a headline ('LUCKY BOUNCE...') to frame the event as dramatic and unusual.

  2. 2

    The Human Reaction

    The bottom-left visual panel immediately addresses the human consequence of the event, showing the affected person's positive reaction (smiling, thumbs-up) to resolve initial tension.

  3. 3

    The Wholesome Payoff

    The bottom-right visual panel provides the final resolution, showing the tangible, positive outcome for the person involved, delivering a satisfying and shareable conclusion.
