Reel-Making Assignment #2: Two Reels Utilizing SEO and Hooks
5/25/2026
In my CMNS 280: Intro to Digital Media Skills course at DePaul University, we were instructed to create two more reels using the feedback and skills we had learned from our in-class assignment. We were instructed to make one 30-second reel and one 60-second reel that strong beginning hooks with trending audio and a narrative arc. Both videos I arranged my clips to create engagement with the audience, teasing specific locations and items earlier in the video. By doing this, I am able to hook my audience in a short-form video format to continue to engage until the end of the content.
