Start with the job
A hook is a promise about what follows. Specificity is more useful than intensity: “The setting that hides completed tasks” tells the viewer what they will learn. “This changes everything” does not.
A practical example
Take the same demo and write three openings: a question (“Still scrolling past finished work?”), a correction (“You do not need to delete completed tasks”), and a preview (“Here is a cleaner project view”). Keep the demonstration identical.
Build your brief
- Audience. Write for one reader with one situation.
- Promise. Explain the value without exaggerating it.
- Proof. Put the promised answer in the next scene.
Review before publishing
Read the hook beside the ending. If the video never answers the opening, change the opening or add the missing explanation. Curiosity should lead somewhere.
Keep the brief beside the finished creative. You should be able to point to the fact, image or product behaviour behind each statement. Save the approved version with its caption so later edits do not undo the review.
