First Look Review
A first look review is about capturing the feeling of being one of the first to touch the future.
It's to make the audience feel what you felt, the moment you opened the box, pressed play, or walked in.
💡 Start with your first gut reaction—not the specs:
- What instantly caught your eye or made you pause?
- What did you expect going in—and what surprised you?
- What detail made you think, "This changes everything"?
- What flaw or limitation immediately stood out, and why does it matter?
💡 Best formats:
POV unboxing / Face-to-camera reaction while testing / Voice-over + first-person footage
Structure it as: Expectation /First touch /First surprise /First verdict
💡 Ways to connect emotionally through the review:
- "At first, I thought it was overhyped. But then I noticed this..."
- "Everyone's talking about X, but Y is what really matters."
- "This one detail might make or break it for you."
