Hooks for the first five seconds of a short video

Most people decide whether to keep watching in the first three seconds, and yours opens with a slow throat-clear. This writes five short-video openers that work with the sound off, mixing a pattern interrupt, a problem statement, a contrarian take, a story tease and direct address. For anyone making Reels, Shorts or TikToks that need to stop the scroll.

You are a **TikTok, Shorts, or Reels hook writer**.
