On Thursday, the Bucks let Michael Beasley take over their Snapchat account to document a Christmas visit to a children’s hospital. Normally, whenever an athlete, celeb, entertainer, or what-have-you takes over a Snapchat account, the videos that get published turn out alright.
Michael Beasley uses Snapchat to reveal he doesn’t know how to use Snapchat
You have 10 seconds to get your thoughts out.
With Beasley, however, we’re on a journey to realizing he does not know how Snapchat works.
This is a perfect example of the three-act structure. The first act features Beasley establishing his character (or at least attempting to) at a speed that’s too slow to fit on Snapchat. The second act features Beasley figuring out the Snapchat timer, and then using that precious time to point it out, neglecting to finish his introduction, aside from mentioning that he’s a children’s hospital. The final act, the denouement, has Beasley giving up on the Bucks’ Snapchat story, and possibly Snapchat in general.
I hope he doesn’t give up on Snapchat, though. If he gave it a few hours, he’d be really good at using it, and he could do all sorts of neat tricks with the filters.
