Social Media Notes
Photos and videos of individual agents and heroes
Group photos and videos of agents and heroes together and separate
Photos and videos of the carts when they’re full and if/when they get emptied
If nurses and doctors want photos for them, ask if they’re ok with us having our own as well
Ask child life specialist if it’s ok for you to take photos with patients before officially starting the visit. Or alternatively, you can simply ask: “Can you point out 3-4 kids with photo consents?”
When heroes are with patients, read the room, gauge if asking for a photo is appropriate. If you think parents and patient would be comfortable with it, ask for photos, assuming you were given permission from the child life specialist.
Portrait is preferred but landscape is still very much useful! A note though for landscape, try to center everything so it can be cropped without excluding anyone for portrait ratio settings that social media requires.
Try to take photos with the subjects being the center or above center. Try to avoid having subjects below the center of the photos.
Bonus content is extremely helpful! Some suggestions:
Heroes walking into the hospital with the carts.
Heroes being silly in character and interacting with each other.
Heroes walking in the hallways and out of the rooms when they’re done talking to a patient.
Everyone hanging out in the elevator
Whoever grabs the carts - film grabbing stuff from the warehouse. Do not film too much of the warehouse itself if you choose to do this.
Film the agents digging through the carts and grabbing comics and toys.
The more content, the better! Whatever you can think of and add is appreciated!
