This is a 12-shot filming plan for a 60s Reels vlog — aesthetic Day in the Life Vlog. Each shot specifies what appears on camera, the movement type, and the script or voiceover line, so you can film in sequence without stopping to think between takes. It's paced for Instagram Reels, with smooth visual flow and a satisfying close to reward viewers who watch to the end. Use it as an on-set checklist: work through each shot in order, adjust framing to your location, and adapt the script lines to your own voice.

Why this format works

Vlog content works because it documents rather than performs. Without a shot list, vlogs wander — with one, you're capturing a specific story arc that audiences can follow. The difference between a vlog that gets replayed and one that gets skipped is intentional structure disguised as spontaneity.

Filming tips for Reels

Instagram's compression is aggressive — expose slightly brighter than feels right. Dark footage compresses badly.
Film 10–15% more footage than the shot list calls for so you have edit room for transitions.
Match cuts and morphing transitions between shots reward viewers who watch to the end — plan for them as you shoot.
Check your aspect ratio: 9:16 for Reels, with safe zones at top and bottom for overlays.
