About this template
The Lean In take is the playful one: you start close to the front camera as if you are about to explain something, then the flexed arm swings into frame and the heart fills the screen before you lean back in to finish. It runs about 12 seconds, the longest of the three, and the arm is the star for a few of them, so it suits a photo where your arms are visible.
Tips for the lean in
- A close, well-lit face photo matters most: the first and last seconds are tight on your face.
- Short sleeves or a T-shirt help: the arm fills the frame in the middle of the clip.
- No sound is spoken: your lips move a little at the start, and the trend sound plays over it.
What is already set for you
- The subject: the person from your photo, in exactly the clothes from your photo.
- The scene: a bedroom with a mirror and curtains behind, seen from a handheld front camera close to the face.
- The timing: Every take reaches the closed heart by the middle of the clip and holds it for two to four seconds.
