Migrant Life in China as Coach

TikTok30s8 shots

Daily life as a migrant in China as a badminton coach

This is a 8-shot filming plan for a 30s TikTok UGC video — migrant Life in China as Coach. Each shot specifies what appears on camera, the movement type, and the script or voiceover line, so you can film in sequence without stopping to think between takes. It's optimised for TikTok's fast-cut format, with the hook designed to land in the first 1–2 seconds. Use it as an on-set checklist: work through each shot in order, adjust framing to your location, and adapt the script lines to your own voice.

Why this format works

UGC content outperforms polished ads because it shows the product in a real person's real life. The shot list keeps the footage grounded and specific — the credibility comes from the detail, not the production value. Your most important shot is usually the most unglamorous one.

Filming tips for TikTok

Film your hook in the first 0.5 seconds — TikTok auto-plays without sound, so your opening visual has to carry the full weight.
Shoot each clip slightly longer than you need. Jump cuts between takes lose energy; trim in edit, not on location.
Natural light at a window beats a ring light for skin texture and authenticity — TikTok viewers can tell.
Do the take you think you'll cut first, then the one you'll use. The second attempt has better pacing.
