Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Apex & Abyss Montage

A rapid-fire compilation that juxtaposes extreme success with a variety of comical failures to create a rhythm of awe and amusement. The sorting logic is a binary of 'Win' vs. 'Fail,' presented out of order for maximum entertainment.

  1. 1

    The Apex Example

    Opens with the single best-case scenario or most impressive example to establish the highest possible standard and create an initial 'wow' factor.

  2. 2

    The Confirmation Example

    Follows up with a second, strong positive example to prove the first wasn't a fluke and solidify the potential for success in the viewer's mind.

  3. 3

    The Failure Cascade

    A rapid-fire sequence of multiple, varied failures. Each failure is presented quickly to highlight the humor, absurdity, or drama of not meeting the established standard.
