Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Absurd Juxtaposition

Creating a humorous narrative by posing an anthropomorphic question and answering it through the visual comparison of a simple 'before' state and a complex 'after' state.

  1. 1

    The Innocent Baseline

    A simple, unadorned subject is introduced to establish a 'before' state and a point of comparison, grounding the absurd premise.

  2. 2

    The Suspenseful Transition

    A deliberate camera movement or edit shifts focus away from the initial subject, building anticipation for the narrative's resolution.
