18:14You're Not Forgetful: My System for Memorising Everything
Save referenceIdentity & Self-Relevance
If you think you have a bad memory, 'You're Not Forgetful' takes that label away. The thumbnail then dares you, saying you'll never forget this video. That makes the video its own test, and part of you wants to see if it's true.
'Memorising Everything' is as big as the promise can go, and 'My System' says there's a repeatable method behind it rather than a trick.
The scribbled equations behind her read as heavy study at a glance, and forget is the one word picked out in red, right behind her head.
When viewers can feel your method working while they watch, make the thumbnail promise the video itself will show it, like one they'll never forget. Use the title to take away the label they put on themselves.
Let the video itself be the test of your method.
Apply this pattern to your next video.
Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
