Why it worked

The video uses a strong, humorous hook that plays on the 'zombie apocalypse' trope to grab attention immediately. The juxtaposition of a mundane daily task (trying to get home) with an absurd situation (a zombie film set) creates high engagement.

Summary

A creator films a street in Paris that appears to be filled with people dressed as zombies for a film set. She jokingly asks the zombies if she can pass through to get to her home.

Structure

1Creator shows a street full of zombies from a balcony
2Creator walks down to the street level
3Creator asks the zombies if she can pass through
4Zombies respond in French and let her pass
5Creator makes a funny face at the camera
