I've been living in Paris on and off for 4 months and this is how I know there's something really wrong with me...

Visual hook · 10%

A direct-to-camera selfie creating a personal connection, set against the visually appealing and recognizable backdrop of a grand Parisian building. The contrast between the casual subject and the formal architecture grabs attention.

Hook

The first and only provided slide functions entirely as the hook. It uses a 'Context + Problem' formula to create a powerful open loop. The relatable situation ('living in Paris') grounds the audience, while the self-deprecating admission ('something really wrong with me') creates a mystery that demands a resolution.

Payoff

The payoff, which would occur on subsequent slides, is the resolution of the mystery. Its function is to reveal the 'problem' in a way that provides a humorous, anticlimactic, or deeply relatable punchline, satisfying the curiosity created by the hook.
