Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Identity-to-Action Funnel

A direct-to-camera address that filters for a specific audience identity, promises them value, and delivers a clear, socially-oriented call to action in a very short timeframe.

  1. 1

    The Identity Filter

    To immediately segment the audience by calling out a specific archetype or identity group using their own slang or terminology, compelling them to pay attention.

  2. 2

    The Promise of Relevance

    To confirm to the targeted group that the following message is specifically for them, creating a sense of exclusivity and anticipation for the reveal.

  3. 3

    The Prescriptive Social Action

    To deliver a single, clear, and authoritative command that specifies the product, the required action, and a social component, framing the call-to-action as a shared experience.
