UGCHooks

Use supporting footage with a clear purpose

Supporting shots should answer a question or connect two actions. Decorative cuts can make a short product explanation harder to follow.

Put it into practice

Assign each shot a job: establish context, reveal detail, or show result. Remove shots with no role in the opening's promise.

What this looks like

A bag on a train seat establishes the travel setting; three unrelated lifestyle shots may delay the packing explanation.

Before you move on

Could removing this shot make the story clearer without losing useful information?

Write down the evidence for your answer. If you cannot point to a concrete example, revise the work before treating it as ready.

A repeatable workflow

  1. Choose the product scene that pays off the hook.
  2. Remove avoidable setup and dead time.
  3. Review the seam between the hook and source video.
