Day In The Life of a Social Media Content Shoot

Content filming days are one of the amazing aspects of our jobs as social media managers. Here at Social Savvy, we manage the social media accounts for several clients across industries varying from online entrepreneurs (think podcasters and coaches), to photographers, boutiques, beauty brands, and more, where we offer content shoots as an add-on service.

While we love a content shoot day to feel fun and organic, there's often a structure that we like to follow in order to deliver high-quality content that we love as the social media manager, and that our clients feel confident in and love, too. Here's the inside scoop on the day in the life of a content shoot:

8AM

Get caffeinated! I like to start off by grabbing a quick coffee, before reviewing the spreadsheet of what we are filming for the day to increase efficiency once we are filming. I like to also use this time to double-check that all the supplies is packed, as I typically do this the night before!

9AM

Meet at the first location and start filming! We like to plan out time blocks for each outfit and location type. During this block, we like to switch outfits a few times and get everything in at our first stop.

12PM

Lunch break! It's important to take the time to rest your brain and refuel with a lunch break. I use this time to relax and then move into reviewing the afternoon content. I also love to use this time to get a quick charge on any devices to have enough for the afternoon.

1PM

End the break and move to the next location to begin filming.

5PM

End content day. Pack up all equipment, confirm the start time/location for tomorrow (if there's a day two!) , and head out!

6PM

I normally like to end my day at 6, ending with catching up on emails, backing up all the files for the day, and charging equipment.

7PM
