Save referenceCuriosity Gap
The same man stands in the same forest twice, first waist-deep in floodwater, then on dry green ground. Something big happened between the frames, and the title reminds you the flood was deliberate. You click to learn whether the gamble paid off and how.
Title
It owns the flood as a deliberate act and asks what it caused.
Thumbnail
It shows the then and now states with the same man anchoring both.
Use this when you revisit an old project or experiment. Show the same person in the same spot in both states, label them then and now, and let the gap between frames ask the question your video answers.
Show both ends of the story; sell the missing middle.
