π¬ TikTok Video Curation Report
π¨ Visual Style
Modern, cinematic, with a mix of moody and vibrant shots. Emphasis on natural light and authentic moments. All footage will be portrait (9:16) orientation.
βοΈ Editing Notes
- Maintain a slightly desaturated, cool tone for the ‘routine’ segments (Scenes 2-8), gradually shifting to warmer, more vibrant tones for ‘alive’ segments (Scenes 10-13).
- Use quick cuts and a slightly faster pace for the routine montage (Scenes 3-7) to emphasize repetitiveness and the feeling of days blending.
- Employ slower, more thoughtful transitions for reflective and impactful moments (Scenes 1, 8, 9, 14, 15) to allow the viewer to absorb the message.
- Music should subtly shift from a repetitive/somber melody to a more hopeful/uplifting and dynamic track as the message transitions from problem to solution.
- Text overlays should be minimal, used only for key phrases (‘Watching vs. Living’, ‘Comfort vs. Life’, ‘Protecting vs. Avoiding’) if desired for emphasis, using a clean, modern sans-serif font.
