Hook overview

Title hook
Do you ever open a text and think "I'll reply when I have the energy" and then BOOM it's been two weeks and you're a terrible person
Visual hook
The video is shot with a fisheye lens, creating a distorted, wide-angle perspective that is immediately visually distinct. The creator also maintains a direct, slightly melancholic stare into the camera, creating a sense of personal connection.
