What it does
Most short videos are lost in the first seconds. People write the whole video, then bolt on a first line. This prompt flips that. It spends all its effort on the opening, and gives you ten options so you are not stuck with your first idea. Each hook gets a style tag, a word count and a plain-words rule. The best three also get a first picture you can really film. The word limits come from one creator's review of viral Reels, not a controlled test. Check them against your own watch data.
