Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Prodigy Gauntlet

A subject with an unexpected or prodigious skill is put through a rapid-fire test, successfully identifying or classifying a series of items, with each success being validated by an authority figure.

  1. 1

    The Premise Agreement

    A brief verbal exchange that establishes the 'game' or challenge about to be undertaken, getting buy-in from the subject.

  2. 2

    The Gauntlet

    A repeating sequence where multiple items are presented one after another for the subject to apply their special skill (e.g., identification, classification, evaluation).

  3. 3

    The Pattern Breaker

    An item is introduced that is slightly different from the previous ones, demonstrating the subject's breadth of knowledge and preventing monotony.
