Title hook

KANE PARSONS'S STARTER PACK

Verbal hook

You may have seen ‘Backrooms’ discourse spiraling across the Internet. If you haven’t, are you even a film bro?

Visual hook

A moody, green-toned portrait of a young filmmaker with an engaging expression, combined with gritty, hand-drawn text and frame overlays that create a distinct, attention-grabbing zine aesthetic.

Hook strategies

1. identity-specificity
2. curiosity-open-loops

Payoff

The payoff is not present on this slide; it is implied to be on the subsequent slides that would reveal the items in the 'Starter Pack'. This slide's function is entirely setup and hook.
