Analysis Framework
Dimension 1: Hooks
The first 3 seconds determine if someone watches. Identify:
Spoken hook: What's the first thing said?
Visual hook: What's the first thing shown?
Text hook: What on-screen text appears first?
Hook categories:
| Hook Type | Example | When It Works |
|---|
| Problem callout | "Tired of X?" | Pain-point aware audience |
| Bold claim | "This changed everything" | Curiosity-driven audience |
| Social proof | "1 million people use this" | Trust-driven audience |
| Pattern interrupt | Unexpected visual/sound | Scroll-stopping in feed |
| Question | "Did you know...?" | Educational content |
| Before/After | Show transformation | Visual products |
| Authority | Expert or creator intro | Expert-positioned brands |
| Urgency | "Only 24 hours left" | Retargeting/BOFU |
