  1. 1

    The Entrance

    The subject is shown arriving in the new environment, establishing their physical presence and setting the scene for the story.

  2. 2

    The Credential Check

  4. 4

    The Action Payoff

    The subject is shown actively and competently performing the new role with the proper equipment, delivering the final, satisfying confirmation of the initial premise.
