Hooks, audience and research

Turn an audience into concepts that stop the scroll.

What you will be able to do

Find ideas that travel, research them properly and open every piece with a situation the viewer can't scroll past — including the event-first method for history content.

Inside this stage

2.1Where winning ideas come from — and how to judge one in 60 seconds
2.2The hook library: eight openings that work muted
2.3Event-first architecture: the five-part descent
2.4Research without errors: sources, uncertainty and anachronisms
2.5Writing to time: 15 seconds, 2.5 words per second

You leave with

12 hooks, three story routes, a fact ledger and a 5-part series outline.

Quality gate

You can justify why a hook fits the audience — not just why it sounds dramatic.
