Create three different video hooks

The working approach

Write a problem-led hook.
Write an outcome-led hook.
Write a workflow-led hook.

A concrete example

For a calendar: “Stop losing track of drafts”, “See the week at a glance” and “From idea to planned post”.

Before recording this scenario, write down what the starting screen contains and what should be different at the end. This gives the reviewer an observable result to check, rather than asking them to approve a general impression.

The mistake to avoid

Three synonym changes are not three creative concepts.

If the source cannot support the intended message, narrow the claim or capture the missing evidence. A transition, caption or voiceover can explain a real change; it should not manufacture one.

Put it into a production brief

Replace the bracketed fields before using this brief. The scenario is illustrative; keep only the actions your product actually supports.

EDITABLE PRODUCTION BRIEF

Purpose: Create three different video hooks.
Audience: [specify the viewer and their familiarity with the product].
Decision: [what should the viewer understand or do next?].
Approach: Keep the underlying product proof stable while varying the opening angle. This makes each version recognisably different without inventing features.

Required evidence:
1. Write a problem-led hook. Show the relevant entry state, action and completed result.
2. Write an outcome-led hook. Show the relevant entry state, action and completed result.
3. Write a workflow-led hook. Show the relevant entry state, action and completed result.

Reference scenario: For a calendar: “Stop losing track of drafts”, “See the week at a glance” and “From idea to planned post”.
Avoid: Three synonym changes are not three creative concepts.

Deliverable: [duration], [format], [placement].
Use only recorded product behaviour. Preserve the full original.
Acceptance: check each claim against its visible scene, review at actual viewing size, and test the final file.

Review before delivery

Evidence: can a new viewer identify the result described in the example without being told where to look?
Reading distance: are the relevant controls and labels understandable at the intended placement size?
Continuity: does each cut preserve the relationship between the action and its result?
Accuracy: does the final caption describe the visible product state, including any limits?

Using this with Demovela

The automatic URL workflow currently supports Postraid and Adfolio. Other product scenarios on this page are production-planning examples, not compatibility claims. Adapt the brief to your own recorder or editor. Demovela preserves originals and creates separate outputs; review the resulting file before publishing.
