Use a reaction hook with context

A reaction should help introduce the product story rather than imply an endorsement that was never given. Context determines how a viewer interprets it.

Put it into practice

Check the caption and following footage for implied personal claims. Present the reaction as a creative opening when it is not a product testimonial.

Worked example · illustrative

What this looks like

A surprised expression can introduce a reveal, but avoid a caption claiming the person used and loved the product without evidence.

Before you move on

Could a viewer reasonably mistake the opening for a real customer endorsement?

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. Match the opening idea to the source video.
  2. Preview the transition rather than just the hook.
  3. Keep the final explanation honest and specific.
