Short-form video starts before you press record.
Build stronger hooks, clearer stories, and more purposeful videos with a simple pre-production process.

The best short-form videos feel effortless, but they rarely are. A little planning before you hit record makes the difference between a video people scroll past and one they watch twice.
Know the one thing you want to say
Every video should have a single, clear idea. If you cannot explain it in one sentence, the viewer will not be able to either. Write that sentence down before anything else.
Write the hook first
The first two seconds decide whether someone keeps watching. Lead with the problem, the surprise, or the payoff. Save the introductions for later, or skip them entirely.
Plan your shots, not just your script
A simple shot list keeps filming focused and gives your editor more to work with. Think about variety: close-ups, movement, text on screen, and moments of real reaction.
End with intention
Close with a clear next step, whether that is following for part two, saving the tip, or visiting your profile. A purposeful ending turns attention into action.
