Your Brief

🎣

Choose Your Hook

A social media hook is the first few seconds of your video that grabs people’s attention.

It’s the bit that makes someone stop scrolling and want to watch more — like a bold statement, a surprising question, or something that makes them curious.

If the hook is good, people keep watching. If it’s boring, they scroll past.

Here are some examples

💭

"I've been living in Spain for [X] months/years and today I decided I want to meet some new people"

💭

"After [X] time in Spain, I'm finally ready to step out of my comfort zone and meet locals"

💭

"Living in Spain for [X] time has been amazing, but today I'm on a mission to make new friends"

💭

"I've been in Spain for [X] months/years and I keep hearing about these events, so today I'm checking one out"

💭

"Spain has been home for [X] time now, but I realized I need to get out more and meet people"

💭

"After [X] time living here, I decided it's time to explore what Spain's social scene is really about"

🎥

Film Your Video

Here are some general tips about filming your video.

1

Always film vertically (portrait mode)

2

Keep your clips fairly short - it'll be easier to edit

3

Get a variety of shots: yourself talking, the venue, people having fun

4

Don't worry about being perfect - authentic moments are better

5

Film more than you think you need - you can always cut it down

6

If you speak to the camera, make sure your audio is clear

✂️

Edit Your Video

Length
