I find that another reason this may be so captivating while also mind numbingly simple is the Personality this creator bolsters. It feels like I'm getting my friend who's more aware of the mechanics of the game than I am, even though I've played Minecraft for thousands of hours. People will always find something interesting if they can relate to it on some degree; in this case that degree is Minecraft itself. Everybody loves Minecraft, it's a staple of the gaming community. It's one of those games where you'll have so many different types of players; from builders to Redstone gods to speed runners and just your casual friend group trying to have some fun together. The reason the latter is important to understand is; the baseline is always Minecraft. I personally love redstone and building; but I've found myself watching speedrun content sometimes because I find it really interesting in seeing the different ways to play, it feels like a different game watching them play like that. I'm sure there's somebody who loves to speedrun yet doesn't know how to do redstone, which would give them the same Woah effect watching me build TNT cannons that I get watching them kill the ender Dragon in less than ten minutes. To further build off of this, Minecraft isn't seen as a very serious or difficult game, so having a flamboyant and and friendly approach would definitely draw in your attention more than if you were trying to act all serious. That's simply just because of the nature of Minecraft. If you tried to be this flamboyant and friendly while playing a game like DOOM, or Dead Space; it would feel so out of place. Having those social cues really helps keep viewer attention.

So instead of focusing on the story of the video itself, we’ll be studying why this video is so good at telling a story. This video has 13 million views and it’s just about an old man stuck on a bush, so comment below and let’s see what he does right and how you think you can improve this video.

I think there's a few elements that make this more attention grabbing than most other videos, and it comes down to the execution of everything. For starters, the font used in the subtitles felt fun and enthusiastic; the way he used different colors and positions of the subtitles for the different voices played a key element in getting your eyes moving around instead of looking in the same spot. Not only that but the precision in the timing for the subtitles; not a millisecond too soon or too late from transitioning from one word to the next. Secondly, the balance between cutting between scenes and zooming in on the same scene allowed it to constantly captivate the viewer by not allowing their attention span to feel like they understand the situation. The viewer doesn't get the time to try and guess what will happen next because it zooms in on the one character, and whilst they are mid thought about what this cop character may do; it pans off to the side where there's the new character entering the scene, making your brain think "well what's this guys deal?" Which leads me into my third point; the perfect execution of backstory. Right when your brain thinks "oh who's this character coming from the side", it plays an entrancing bell sound which acts as the transition to a past "memory". In this sequence I would personally have added some form of Vignette effect to clearly differentiate the past and the present.

I've played a lot of story games, but the one that always stuck out the most to me has to be The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The storyline, the atmosphere, the freedom of choice, and the ability to get a feel for what it could have been like if the world was conquered by Magic and Dragons.
