Document 4 of 8 Shoot before ads go live

Creative & Content Production SOP

Exact shot list, video structures, image rules, overlay text library, and design rules for the launch creative pack. This is a strict production guide — not a general ideas file.

4 / 8

Document Purpose

This document tells you exactly what must be created, exactly what to shoot, how to shoot it, what each asset must say, and what must be ready before the campaign is published. Do not launch until the minimum launch pack is complete.

1. Mandatory Launch Pack

Trust Video

1 video

Offer Video

1 video

Animal Image Set

Min 5 images

Offer Card

1 static image

Profile Image

1 image

Cover Image

1 image

If any of these are missing, Barkat should not launch the cold campaign.

2. Final Creative Direction

Clean · Direct · Trust-based · Farm-controlled · Transparent

When someone sees Barkat's ad, the impression should be:

Content must NOT look like:

Random mandi footage, low-trust trader content, chaotic mixed visuals, overdesigned flashy cattle ads, or cheap-market shouting content.

3. Core Creative Rule — 4 Jobs

1

Trust

Show Barkat is real, clean, and serious.

2

Transparency

Show that the process is clear and structured.

3

Convenience

Show that buying from Barkat is easier than buying randomly.

4

Availability

Show that real animals are available now.

If a photo or video does not help one of those 4 jobs, do not use it.

6. Shooting Day Preparation

Clean the visible areas

Only shoot in the cleanest visible parts of the farm. Remove: clutter, dirty bags, broken tools, random buckets, messy vehicles, unnecessary people in frame.

Choose the strongest animals first

Start with animals that look healthiest, calmest, strongest, cleanest, and most visually impressive. Do not begin the content set with average-looking animals.

Shoot time

Use daylight — morning or late afternoon. Avoid dark indoor light, very low-light evening shots, and random night content.

Clean the phone camera lens before every photo and video. This is mandatory.

Clothing

If any person appears in frame, clothing must be neat, simple, clean, and non-distracting. Do not appear in dirty work clothes if visible.

7. Exact Camera Rules

Main Video Format

Shoot all main launch videos in 9:16 vertical. Stories and Reels matter heavily in Meta delivery.

Image Format

Main static assets in 4:5. Carousel-ready assets that can also work in 1:1.

Camera Stability

Use two hands, slow movement, stable framing. No shaking, fast walking shots, constant zooming, or aggressive panning.

Framing Animals

Keep the full body visible. Do not crop the head badly, cut the legs awkwardly, or leave huge empty ground around the subject.

8–10. Safe Zone, Sound, and Brand Rules

Safe Zone Rule

Do not place important text at the top or bottom edge. Do not place logos too close to corners. Keep all important elements in the center-safe area. Tell your editor: "Keep all important text, logo, and CTA in the center-safe area."

Sound Rule

Every launch video must still make sense without audio. Use short text overlays, captions, or make the visual story clear enough to understand without sound. Do not depend on spoken voice only.

Brand Visibility Rule

Every video must show Barkat Cattle Farm within the first 3 seconds — via text overlay, logo, clean opening card, or visible signage. Do not wait until the end to show the business name.
