How do I create dynamic 'day in the life' or 'what I do for a living' style reels?

Record 20-30 short clips (about 1 second each) from your day-to-day art business and personal life. Find the most dynamic part of each video—where movement starts—and cut the clip to end just as the movement completes or when it reaches about 1 second. Avoid grouping similar clips together; instead, mix them up by holding your finger on a clip and dragging it to different positions to break up repetitive sequences (like coffee, person, coffee, person instead of all coffee clips together). For square or wrongly-formatted clips, pinch and zoom with your fingers to fit the vertical format. If a clip has good content but moves too slowly, use the speed function to make it faster and more engaging. Add text overlays, a hook like ‘what do you do for a living,’ trending copyright-free music, and you have a reel you can reuse multiple times with different audio or voiceovers.
