@izzydavey99 I’ve spend TOOOOO much money on running shoes as a new runner… so I thought I’d tell you all what I thought of each of them. 4 pairs, one winner. (I’m not an experienced runner so this is just my opinion) @adidas @ASICS #runningshoes #trainer #running #run #fyp

New runner reviews four shoesfrom @izzydavey99

Overview

The creator introduces herself as a new runner and explains that she will be reviewing four different pairs of running shoes she has tested. She begins with the first pair, the Adidas Adizero, holding them up to the camera and describing their features, her personal experience running in them (both positive and negative), and ultimately gives them a numerical rating.

Hook template

Steal this for your own video

I'm a [experience level] [identity], and I have tried not one, not two, not three, but [number] different [product category].

  • — I'm a first-time home cook, and I have tried not one, not two, not three, but five different cast iron skillets.
  • — I'm a beginner cyclist, and I have tried not one, not two, not three, but four different bike seat cushions.
  • — I'm a new dog owner, and I have tried not one, not two, not three, but six different training treats.

Hook and payoff

The promise the opener makes, and how the video pays it back

Hook

The creator establishes immediate relatability by identifying with a common user group ('I'm a new [X]') and then builds authority by quantifying the extensive and costly trial-and-error process they've undertaken on the viewer's behalf.

Payoff

The final beat of the full video would be the declaration of the 'winner,' which fulfills the promise made in the hook and provides a satisfying, actionable conclusion to the comparison.

Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Relatable Review Gauntlet

To establish authority as a relatable novice who has invested significant time and money to test multiple options in a category, then systematically review each item with a pro/con analysis to determine a final 'winner'.

  1. 1

    The Relatable Identity

    The creator self-identifies as a novice in a specific niche, creating an immediate bond with a large segment of the audience who share that identity.

  2. 2

    The Investment Proof

    The creator uses escalating enumeration ('not one, not two, but four...') to frame their experience as a significant investment of time, money, and effort, which validates the authority of their upcoming opinion.

  3. 3

    The Review Thesis

    A clear statement of intent is made: to provide a definitive, experience-based judgment on each item, promising a clear verdict and a final 'winner'.

  4. 4

    The Review Gauntlet

    The systematic evaluation of each item begins. This beat is a container for the repeating micro-pattern that will be applied to all items in the list.

Transcript

I'm a new runner, and I have tried not one, not two, not three, but four pairs of running shoes. I have worn each of these for at least 4 k per wear. Okay? And I'm gonna tell you exactly what I think of each individual pair. I'm gonna start out with these. These are gross. These were actually my designated dog walking shoe. No the Adidas Azeros, these are carbon plated. You do not need carbon plated shoes to go on a run. These are extremely stable shoes, and the only thing that I rank into with this was the bottoms of my feet were getting really hot. Like, it felt like there was a small fire being created on the balls of my foot. In terms of durability, fantastic. Wear, fantastic apart from the fire situation. I good no pain in my knee, my ankle, my calves, nothing. I would actually give these, like, an eight.
