About this template
The Bed Selfie is the version most people film at home: the phone stands in front of the bed, you lean toward it, sit back, flex the arm on the left of the frame and press the other hand against it until the heart closes. You hold it for about four seconds, tilt your head and lean in again at the end. It is the calmest of the three takes and the one where your face is on screen the whole time, so it keeps your likeness best.
Tips for the bed selfie
- A front-facing photo from the chest up works best: the whole clip is a face-to-camera selfie.
- Bare arms or short sleeves keep the flexed arm looking like yours; a thick jacket changes the shape of the heart.
- Choose 9:16 for TikTok and Reels: the take is framed as a vertical phone shot.
What is already set for you
- The subject: the person from your photo, in exactly the clothes from your photo.
- The scene: a bedroom in warm evening light, seen from a phone propped up in front of the bed.
- The timing: Every take reaches the closed heart by the middle of the clip and holds it for two to four seconds.
