Hook template

Steal this for your own video

Hold up a [surprisingly tiny or miniature version of a recognizable object] and let the [unexpected size or quirky contrast] do the talking before you say a word.

  • — Hold up a coin-sized frying pan next to a full breakfast spread and let the absurd scale contrast stop the scroll before you say a word.
  • — Hold up a thumb-sized trophy next to your championship medal and let the tiny prop create instant curiosity before you say a word.
  • — Hold up a miniature book the size of a business card next to a towering stack of novels and let the size mismatch arrest attention before you say a word.

Transcript

It's the cutest thing I've ever seen. Hello. Hi. I'm Ella Better, and we are on set today. And I'm going to be answering some questions inspired by Rank Beauty blush names. Oh my goodness. My happy place is probably my room back home in my family's house with my dogs and annoying my sisters. That's my happy place. Okay. Green apples. I am eating, like, eight a day on set. I'm obsessed. I'm gonna say my family. My mom, my dad, they're so supportive and awesome and amazing. No, yeah, shout out. Always worth making time for. I always find that, like, if I don't make time for this in, like, at least my week, then I kind of go a little bit insane. It's just like taking long walks with music and kind of just being off your phone, but kind of in your own meditative space. Yeah. Worthwhile best like for mental health reasons for sure. Yeah.
