Pattern Interrupt Hooks

A pattern interrupt breaks the opening a viewer expects. It might reject common advice, start in the middle of an action, or use a sharp visual change. The interruption works only when the next line makes the relevance clear.

When to use it

Use this pattern when your audience follows a familiar but unhelpful habit, or when your category is full of identical openings. It is especially useful for corrections, tutorials, and before-and-after posts.

Example

“Stop filming your tips like a TED Talk.”

Stop [doing the common thing] like a [wrong format / wrong audience].

Tips

• Interrupt a real expectation, not attention for its own sake.
• Explain the better move immediately after the hook.
• Keep the visual or verbal shift consistent with your normal delivery.
