The hook
- Do
- Open on a crisp, close-up sound: a crunch, a crack, a fizz.
The first 3 seconds
- 0.0sThe crunch, right on frame one.
- 0.5sA close-up of the crumbs or the crack.
- 1.5sA second crunch.
- 3.0sThe viewer has turned their volume up.
Why it works
Crisp sounds are satisfying, and people turn up the volume.
What you need
- Something crisp: crunchy food, ice, a fizzy drink
- A quiet room
- Your phone or a mic very close to the sound
Step by step
Plan
- Pick the crunchiest thing that fits your topic.
- Find your quietest room, and turn off fans and anything humming.
Film
- Put the phone or mic 5–10 cm from the sound.
- Film a few takes and pick the crispest.
Edit
- Start right on the sound, not before.
- Turn the music off or very low, and turn the crunch up.
Use it in your niche
- FoodThe first bite of fried chicken
- UnboxingPeeling the plastic off a new screen
- CraftsSlicing kinetic sand
Pro tips
- A cheap clip-on mic makes a big difference.
- Film close-ups of what's making the sound. Eyes and ears work together.
Avoid
- Background noise: traffic, TV, voices.
- Music louder than the crunch.
