Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Perspective Shatter

To create a powerful reveal by first showing a familiar action in an intimate close-up, then rapidly pulling back to reveal an extraordinary or unexpected context for that same action, subverting viewer expectations.

  1. 1

    The Intimate Misdirect

    To ground the viewer in a familiar, relatable scenario using a tight frame, which sets a specific and misleading expectation about the nature of the scene.

  2. 2

    The Contextual Rupture

    To use a rapid camera movement to violently break the initial expectation and reveal a surprising, absurd, or impressive environment or situation that completely reframes the initial action.

  3. 3

    The Astonishing Tableau

    To hold on a wide, static shot of the complete scene, allowing the viewer to fully process the surprise and appreciate the visual spectacle of the revealed context.
