Day In The Life

A 12-second portrait reel (1080×1920) broken into six 2-second scenes that hard-cut at vlog-native cadence. Each scene uses a different lifestyle stock photo with a Ken Burns pan to prevent the static image feeling.

Scene timeline

7AM — Morning Routine — coffee & skincare
10AM — Work Mode — deep focus era
1PM — Lunch Break — food spot
5PM — Gym Time — sweat session
7PM — Dinner — earned this one
9PM — Golden Hour — chill mode

Platform variants

TikTok Energetic — THEME_BOLD (purple/pink), animated sparkles every scene, bold uppercase captions in upper third, timestamp sticker badges with bounce spring animation.

Reels Cinematic — THEME_DARK (indigo), subtle Ken Burns only, cinematic letterbox bars top and bottom, lower third captions in editorial serif style.
