STRUCTUREDIALOGUEVISUAL HOOK
0–3s • HOOKV.O: The other day while I was hiking I overheard a group of people talking about a rare Little Mermaid VHS tapeThe video starts with Claw walking in the woods and turning around to spot a group of strangers chatting.
3–5s • CONTEXT:Stranger: Yeah man, it’s worth more than ten thousand dollars! But it’s practically impossible to find.We see Claw hide behind the trees to try and spy on these people’s conversation.
5–10s • INTO ACTION:V.O: I immediately knew where I had to look: my grandparent’s basement, a time capsule of the late 80s and early 90sThe camera shows Claw is thinking about the room in the basement, showing different clips of said room (as if we can see what he’s thinking of).
Experiment Setup • Progression 1 (5–10s):V.O: But I knew this wasn’t an easy task, so I gathered my friends and some tools to begin the search.In a quick montage, we see Claw and a couple of his friends gear up: face masks, flashlights, gloves and mini vacuums to remove the dust.
Friend: What are we looking for?Then, we cut to another montage of Claw and his friends using said tools to look around the dirty room.
Claw: Anything fishy.
Progression 2 (roughly 10–20s):V.O: But after hours, we found nothing. We were about to give up when my grandma asked…Dusty and dirty, Claw and his friends climb out of the basement and sit in the kitchen with sad faces.
Grandma: Have you checked the other room?Grandma, very casually, asks the question.
Progression 3 (roughly 20–33s):V.O: And there it was, behind the boxes and the dust, there was another entire room filled with even more VHS!We cut back to the basement again, where Claw’s friends are moving heavy boxes and shelves aside to reveal the secret room.
Claw: This might be it you guys!
Progression 4 (33–45s):V.O: We continued searching the new room, now more excited than before. But sadly…Once again, we see them dust away all the VHS, revealing weirder and much more funnier stuff in a class that’s clearly more dirty and strange.
Friend: There’s only Titanic copies here, man.
Claw: Well, it’s underwater, isn’t it? That must mean we’re close.
Climax (45/50s) • last progression, results.V.O: Lastly, we found the very last box in the secret room, but…The POV of the camera switches to be inside the last box as it’s being opened by Claw and his friends.
Friend: Yeah, it’s full of Titanic.The POV goes back to Claw and his friends as they only pull out… more Titanic copies.
