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

I follow a three-act structure most of the time. Introduction conflict and resolution. It helps me keep the narrative focused and impactful.

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

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.

Not following a strict formula the focus is on crafting a relatable protagonist. It's amazing how much a well-defined character can carry a story.

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 follow a basic structure, hook, build up, climax, and resolution. But I let the story guide me rather than sticking too rigidly to a formula.

I think emotion is everything in video storytelling. If I can make someone feel something, whether it’s joy, sadness, or excitement I’ve done my job.

I like starting with a strong hook in the first few seconds. If I don’t grab attention early, I know I might lose my audience.
