Before You Start
- Clean the furniture and remove clutter from the background
- Ensure good lighting - natural light from windows works best, avoid harsh overhead lights.
- Have treats or toys ready to keep your pet's attention
Camera Setup
- Hold your phone vertically for TikTok/Reels
- Clean your camera lens with a soft cloth
- Turn on grid lines in your camera settings to help with composition
- Lock exposure and focus by tapping and holding on your pet
Filming Technique
- Get down to your pet's eye level for more engaging shots
- Start from far away and move closer and then either stay still or move out again. This is a great example.
- Keep your phone steady - use both hands or prop it against something stable
- Film in 4K if your phone supports it for better quality
- Capture multiple short clips rather than one long video
- Record 3-5 seconds before and after the main action for editing flexibility
Composition Tips
- Position your pet off-center using the rule of thirds
- Leave some space around your pet in the frame
- Ensure the furniture complements rather than overwhelms the shot
- Watch for distracting elements in the background
Getting the Shot
- Be patient - let your pet settle naturally on the furniture
- Capture authentic moments rather than forcing poses
- Use treats or sounds to direct their gaze toward the camer
- Film several takes to ensure you have options
