Would You…?
Best for: Food, fashion, challenges
The hook
- On screen
- Would you eat this?
The first 3 seconds
- 0.0sThe thing fills the frame, with the question: “Would you eat this?”
- 1.0sThe viewer has already answered in their head.
- 2.0sMore detail: a close-up, a bite, a turn.
- 3.0sThey want your answer, and to comment theirs.
Why it works
A question on screen invites an answer in the comments.
What you need
- Something that splits opinion
- A clear shot of it
- A yes/no question for the caption
Step by step
Plan
- Pick something people really split on: a weird food, a bold outfit, a strange job.
- Decide your own answer and save it for the end.
Film
- Film the thing clearly in good light, from its most dramatic angle.
- Film your reaction or answer separately, for the end.
Edit
- Put the question on screen from frame one, with “you” in it.
- Only reveal your own answer at the end.
Use it in your niche
- FoodWould you eat this for $100?
- FashionWould you wear this to school?
- TravelWould you sleep here for one night?
Pro tips
- Reply to the funniest answers with new videos. One video turns into several.
- Add a reason to answer: “for $100” or “for a week” makes people think harder.
Avoid
- Questions with an obvious answer. If everyone says yes, nobody comments.
- Showing your own answer first.
