26:09Every Shot, the Goal gets SMALLER
Save referenceStakes & Tension
It's a daft rule. Every shot bricks up more of the goal, and the thumbnail jumps to the end, with just 1% left in the top corner. The yellow curve says he's going for it, so you click to see if it goes in.
'Every Shot' means even a miss shrinks the goal, so pressure builds with every attempt, and it's a rule you could try with your mates.
Orange bricks fill the goal except a green 1% gap in the corner, and the yellow curve into it shows how precise the last shot has to be.
When you can turn a skill into a challenge that gets harder with every try, state the rule in the title. Show the hardest stage in the thumbnail, with a number for how little room is left.
Show the hardest round, and let them wonder if it's possible.
Apply this pattern to your next video.
Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
