THE TAKE

What worked and what I would change

KEEP

The idea creates a simple question. Each reveal gives us part of the answer.

Most comments talk about the impact. That tells us what viewers remembered.

QUESTION

The opening shows something big, but it takes too long to tell us what can go wrong.

The middle needs one clear change so viewers can feel the story moving.

MOVE

Ask one clear question at the start. Make each section answer part of it.

Add a choice, loss or rule change near the middle. Show why it matters before the next section.

Build the title and thumbnail around one conflict or one impossible image. Do not list everything in the video.
