Transcript excerpt

The worst art of the hook. I wanna change the way you think about hooks, especially in social media content, because social media didn't invent hooks. It's not just the first three seconds of a video. In fact, the idea of a hook has existed in other creative disciplines and industries for a long time. What is a hook? Well, rather than define it for you, I want to broaden your vision of what a hook can be, and I'm gonna do that by showing you a bunch of examples of some great hooks. When I wake up, the other side of the bed is cold. This is the day of the reaping. The first page or on the first page of the hunger games, in my opinion, a great hook. An example of how hooks are in other mediums of storytelling. It was a bright good day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. That's the first line of 1984. And as you can already see, a hook is what grabs and holds your attention. It needs to hold your attention, and that's what differentiates it from gimmicks and clickbait. So let's keep going. More examples. The first scene of Breaking Bad. It's longer than three seconds. One of the first things you see are pants flying through the air. Instant questions going off in my head.
