@wisdm High Fashion Halloween II: Horror Movie Edition I don’t like horror movies, but this Halloween I subjected myself to a couple that I had not seen for this project (that experience on YT in a few days). Was inspired by all the buzz around some of the horror movies this year and in recent years and decided to pick a few more I had some familiarity with, but let me know which I should explore 365 days from now…. 📸 @maxtardio 🛠️ @wisdm Directed Modeled & edited by @wisdm Executive Producer - @thetimmac Executive Producer - @edensutley  Production Manager - @daniellejolie22  Production Coordinator - @taraknehans  Stand-in Model - @4.gvn1 Gaffer - @oliviermetzler Key Grip - @jakesofaer Art Director - @soadypop Set Designer - @danielaclementi Set Decorator - @femmmbot  Leadman - followthentrain Set Dresser - @jake.saez  Wardrobe Assistant - @richmondokeke  EA / BTS Day 1 - @tiffanyhkim BTS Day 2 - @yogabagavin Art PA - @wolrdofshit Art PA - @isaackoenig Production Consultants - @wildcatter_la

High Fashion Halloween II: Horror Movie Edition

Visual hook · 45%

A surreal image of a figure completely enveloped in a massive, off-white puffer garment, wearing a strange mask in a sterile, white-tiled room. The unusual scale of the costume and the clinical setting create immediate visual intrigue and pattern interruption.

Hook template

Steal this for your own video

Opening frame: [subject or character] completely engulfed in an oversized [signature material or object], wearing [strange accessory], standing in a stark [clinical or unexpected setting] -- shot straight-on and centered so the scale and setting feel wrong at first glance.

  • — Opening frame: a baker completely engulfed in an oversized quilted oven mitt, wearing a vintage gas mask, standing in a stark empty white-tiled walk-in freezer -- shot straight-on and centered so the scale and setting feel wrong at first glance.
  • — Opening frame: a personal trainer completely engulfed in an oversized inflatable weight-plate costume, wearing a faceless mesh mask, standing in a stark fluorescent-lit empty parking garage -- shot straight-on and centered so the scale and setting feel wrong at first glance.
  • — Opening frame: a bookkeeper completely engulfed in an oversized pile of paper receipts, wearing a porcelain doll mask, standing in a stark all-white hospital hallway -- shot straight-on and centered so the scale and setting feel wrong at first glance.

Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Gallery Showcase

Presents a curated collection of items using a highly consistent, repeating slide format to create a rhythmic viewing experience. Engagement is sustained by the variety within the theme and capped by a final, pattern-breaking slide that provides a 'behind-the-scenes' reveal.

  1. 1

    The Thematic Opener

    Slide 1 establishes the core concept, aesthetic, and repeating slide format. It acts as both the first item in the gallery and the primary hook to encourage swiping.

  2. 2

    The Gallery Sequence

    Slides 2-8 present the main body of the collection through a series of visually and structurally consistent slides. Each slide is a new example that reinforces the theme, maintaining engagement through variety within a predictable structure.

  3. 3

    The Authenticity Reveal

    The final slide (9) intentionally breaks the established polished format to provide a 'behind-the-scenes' look. This shift in perspective rewards the user for completing the carousel and adds a layer of authenticity to the project.
