Hook/Greetings

 Hook/Greetings is for narrative hooks that tease upcoming moments in a video, plus dedicated greetings and goodbyes.

Description

Hook

For narrative hooks that grab the viewer's attention (often as the first scene) by teasing or describing events from later in the same video or future episodes in a series. Collections of reused clips of the current or other episodes fall under  preview/recap.

This includes:

• Custom teasers and montages with unique clips that only repeat upcoming info.
• Non-informative descriptions of later events. ("We're going to do X later, and it's going to be crazy..")
• A beginning thematic statement, such as a direct quote, that is already repeated later in the video.

Not included:

• Recaps of the current or older videos. (See  recap)
• Additional details or context not repeated later in the video. ("To do X later, we had to..")
• Moments with narrative importance that would be lost skipping, such as an event depicted earlier through a different character's perspective.
• Compilations of clips from other series episodes with no added context. (See  Preview/recap)

Greetings

For greetings at the start of the video before any information has been discussed, or which repeat information discussed right after the greeting.

Goodbyes

For goodbyes and concluding sentences at the end of the video. Do not include conclusions to the video's topic, only non-informational goodbyes should be included.
