Social Media Content in Melrose — the craft

Location and product mix

Most shoots happen at the client's own space — a design studio in Woodstock, a townhouse in Bryanston, a coffee roastery in Salt River, a co-working space in Rosebank — because the location itself is part of the brand story. Where the shoot needs a specific look we do not have on hand, we build a portable studio in a boardroom with painted flats and portable LED. Product shoots for hospitality and F&B brands are done in daylight kitchens with reflectors and a light hand — no plastic-looking food, no over-saturated cocktails, just the way the item actually looks on the pass.

Native format matters

A reel is not a landscape video with black bars. Every vertical asset is shot vertical on a Sony A7 IV with the sensor cropped to 9:16, or on an iPhone 15 Pro Max where the native platform look serves the story better. Reels open with a scroll-stopper hook in the first 0.8 seconds, cut on the beat, and end on a clear next-action prompt. Grid stills are shot square where they will land on the Instagram grid, and portrait where they will run as a Story or a LinkedIn carousel. TikTok gets its own edit — faster cuts, punchier text overlay, native-feeling music — because a Reel cross-posted to TikTok looks like a Reel cross-posted to TikTok, and it under-performs.
