🔄 Step-by-Step: Creating a TikTok or Reel on Your Party Bus
Step 1: Choose Your Hook (0–3 seconds)
Grab attention fast.
Ideas:
-
“We booked a party bus in London and THIS happened…”
-
“POV: You’re on the best hen night ever 🚨”
-
A high-energy dance entrance or opening the champagne

LED lights turning on
-
Crowd dancing to the beat
-
Outside landmarks like Tower Bridge, London Eye, or Big Ben
-
A “slow-mo” entrance or outfit walk

📸 Use slow-mo, boomerang, or time-lapse for variety
If your bus is moving, stabilise with both hands or lean against a seat for a steady shot.
