Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Anthropomorphic Narrative

Framing an animal's or subject's quirky behavior with a human-like, absurd premise delivered via on-screen text to create a short, humorous story.

  1. 1

    The Preparation

    The subject performs the initial, smaller part of the action, which comically aligns with the first step of the stated absurd premise.

  2. 2

    The Full Commitment

    The subject escalates the action by fully immersing or committing itself to the activity, raising the stakes of the humorous premise.

  3. 3

    The Chef's Flourish

    The subject settles into a final pose, often looking at the camera and making an expressive gesture or sound, which acts as the comedic punchline and presentation of the 'finished product'.
