Hook template
Steal this for your own video
Open on a — then immediately to signal this is not what the viewer expects.
- — Open on the classic Hollywood studio fanfare logo — then swap the studio name for your brand name as searchlights sweep a golden monument at sunset.
- — Open on a generic 'Breaking News' broadcast graphic — then replace the headline ticker with an absurd, over-the-top personal announcement to break the fourth wall.
- — Open on a vintage video game loading screen — then glitch it out and replace the title card with your product name as if it were the final boss reveal.
