Here is my reel https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaECrHiSAYA/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Here is the reel I copied, I took off my shirt because I had on a black shirt with white writing, and I knew that it would take away from the text on screen.https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYfOmHJu_4E/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

Emotion to Evoke: Curiosity through fear of death. Hook: I thought I was dying but I was actually being reborn. Slide 2: I woke up in an ambulance after eating a heroic dose of mushrooms. That day changed my life forever. Slide 3: What began as a trip quickly became the most terrifying experience of my life. During the peak, I lost consciousness. The next thing I remember was waking up in an ambulance on the way to the hospital. Slide 4: Lying there, I thought my life was over. But what was really ending wasn’t my life. It was the version of me hiding behind weed, alcohol, and self-destruction. Slide 5: That experience forced me to look at myself honestly. The path I was on. The choices I was making. The person I was becoming. And I hated what I saw. Slide 6: The hospital wasn’t where my story ended. It was where a new profound chapter began. That experience became the foundation for my sobriety, and taking back ownership of my life. Sometimes rock bottom becomes the base you build on.

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYvBKHlTw2e/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== This guy created a visual and verbal hook by pretending to be someone else using a high-pitched voice and rolling his eyes while posing the question "why don't you drink anymore" then immediately grabs everyone's attention by stating if he drinks he will do cocaine, line after line. This is a good example of context lean. He lays down the foundation for his video with that question. He also says it kind of aggressively and loud which kept me entertained. He keeps your attention by stating how when he's hung over then he'll do oxy after. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYyEvxKOIsb/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== This guy also uses a visual and verbal hook. The visual aspect is him being super jacked, shirt off. Sweaty and full of blood from the pump. Then he reels you in by stating how he used to be addicted to heroin and Crystal meth. For me, this is the type of video that makes you go. If he can do it I can do it too. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZ8oViOvA-7/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Visual hook, a big glass vase filled with popcorn and then a small one that has a little bit of skittles. The volume difference captured my eyes along with the colors. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZ9PNlHpjbz/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Visual and verbal hook here. The visual is the hooker. (There's a joke in there somewhere) he then poses the question. "Would you eat @ss?" When I saw and heard this, I went "HUH" and immediately caught my attention by looking at the half naked woman along with the crazy question. This is a contrarian snapback because at the end he goes completely off-topic from what he started with. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWns9JcjZEx/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

Day 1 — Struggles & Wins (get real) 5 Struggles - I grew up overweight and was known as the “fat kid”. I struggled for over a decade with low confidence in myself. I remember as a kid  wearing shirts to the beach and pool so I didn't have to look at myself.  - I am impatient with my family and friends. It doesn't take much for someone close to me to piss me off and make me say or do irrational things.  - I have lived a life of crime since I was a teenager. From Graffiti to drugs & alcohol. I've been arrested 4 times and each time I always wonder why I put myself in those situations. - I've always question my purpose in life. I never had any direction, motivation, or discipline to be anything better then just an average Joe. - I have the weight of my entire household on my shoulders right now, my mom is jobless and not in the best shape. Sometimes I worry about if she will find a job and what our future holds in store for us. ______________________________________ 5 Contrasting Wins: - Confidence: I've lost over 55lbs of fat since I started my journey. I can  walk around in public shirtless, this may seem ego driven but it's not. I have realized my body is a temple.  - Patience: I recently started a fitness program for my mom and that helps me understand everyone's needs are different. I've learned to appreciate all aspects of life. Especially things that require a long time to master or learn. - Resilience: I've learned to choose discipline over excuses. Staying locked in on my fitness, sobriety, and continuing to strive towards my goals. I don't let my past define who I am, how I respond to hardships does. - Discipline: I have taught myself that I can do anything I set my mind to. If I want it all I have to do is work towards it daily.  - Finances: Worrying about money is pointless. Instead you should worry about the things you can control and change in your life and the money will follow. Chase your dreams not paper bills. ______________________________________
