Rapid fire red carpet commentaryfrom @nickycbell

Overview

Hook template

Steal this for your own video

[Subject being judged] is [doing/wearing/making] exactly what [she/he/they] should be [doing/wearing/making].

  • — Zendaya is wearing exactly what she should be wearing.
  • — This startup is pricing its product exactly how it should be pricing it.
  • — That rookie quarterback is playing exactly how he should be playing.

Hook and payoff

The promise the opener makes, and how the video pays it back

Hook

The video begins in media res with the first item and its corresponding judgment. There is no formal introduction, immediately establishing the format, pace, and creator's point of view.

Payoff

The payoff is distributed across the video with each individual judgment. The video concludes abruptly after the final item, leaving the viewer with the cumulative effect of the rapid-fire opinions rather than a single concluding thought.

Transcript

Exactly what she should be doing. I wanna like it. Fuck. It's major. I don't think it's good. It's just so dated. Incredibly gorgeous. Hate hate hate what she wears. Not that interesting. No one can say that Pier Paolo does not make an insane gown. There's a few issues here. I'm shocked anyone was drawn to this dress. She shouldn't be doing this. Rip those strings off. Too much tulle. It just doesn't work. Kinda eating these other bitches up. You don't want me to talk about this. Love, so sexy. I'd never thought about a white tie before. So good. I don't enjoy this. Really good. Really, really bad. She looks like a fucking movie star. I would like her to do something else. I actually think it's fabulous. Really incredible suit. Oh my god. This one's even better. Cute. I like it. Good, he's gotta cut that hair. Nothing is memorable. Okay. I'm literally obsessed with this. Good. Simple. Pretty. Great jacket. Bad pants.
