Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Juxtaposed Metaphor

A complex or relatable experience is communicated by visually representing two contrasting, personified states (e.g., input/output, before/after) as a simple, side-by-side metaphor. The true meaning is revealed through external context, like a caption.

  1. 1

    The Catharsis Metaphor

    The first visual element is labeled to represent the initial state, action, or problem, often implying an act of release, consumption, or unburdening.

  2. 2

    The Resolution Metaphor

    The second, contrasting visual element is labeled to represent the resulting state, reaction, or solution, often implying a new perspective, guidance, or replenishment.
