Who watches
Home shoppers, renters and curious scrollers. The feed decides in a second or two; watch time and comments decide the reach.
What the TikTok director does
- Opens on the most impressive shot with a curiosity line, never the front door.
- One idea per shot, with a surprise saved for the second half.
- Big captions with the spoken word highlighted, and stickers on key words.
- Ends on a question that gets comments.
The same walkthrough also makes the other platforms' videos, each cut its own way.
