How do you approach video storytelling? Do you follow a specific structure or formula?

I usually start by visualizing the core message I want to convey then build a narrative around it.

For me, every video story starts with understanding the audience. I ask myself, “Who am I speaking to, and what do I want them to feel by the end?

I usually start with a strong emotional hook and let the story flow naturally. It keeps the audience engaged.

I think following a rigid formula can sometimes make stories feel predictable. I prefer to focus on the emotional journey and adapt the structure as the story develops. It keeps things fresh and authentic.

I stick to the classic problem-solution formula. It is simple but effective for most audiences.

Starting with a strong hook is great for me then build an emotional arc, finishing with a clear call to action.

For me it is all about building tension and then delivering a payoff. Like a mini roller coaster ride in every video.
