The open-loop technique for keeping viewers hooked completely changed how I write my scripts now.

Mes vidรฉos longues perdaient les gens au bout de deux minutes, et ce cours m'a vraiment ouvert les yeux sur la structure d'un script. La mรฉthode pour enchaรฎner les boucles ouvertes afin de garder le spectateur curieux jusqu'au bout a tout changรฉ pour moi. J'ai aussi adorรฉ la partie sur l'accroche des dix premiรจres secondes, que j'applique dรฉsormais systรฉmatiquement. Depuis, ma durรฉe de visionnage moyenne a nettement augmentรฉ et mes statistiques le confirment. C'est devenu mon modรจle de rรฉfรฉrence pour รฉcrire chaque script. Je le recommande ร  tout crรฉateur qui veut retenir son audience.

Antes escribรญa mis guiones sin ningรบn orden y la gente abandonaba enseguida el vรญdeo. Aquรญ entendรญ cรณmo montar una estructura con ganchos y bucles abiertos que mantienen la atenciรณn hasta el final. La parte sobre los primeros diez segundos fue la que mรกs me sirviรณ, porque ahรญ se decide casi todo. Mi tiempo de retenciรณn ha subido bastante desde que aplico estas plantillas. Me habrรญa gustado algรบn ejemplo mรกs de nichos distintos, pero aun asรญ lo recomiendo sin dudar.
