Stock content should appeal broadly, and that’s the golden rule. A modern image of a person using a laptop could be utilized for an article introducing IT technology, a blog post explaining marketing strategy, or a working-at-home guide published by any company.
Looking at this golden rule from the creator’s point of view speaks volumes since it helps us realize that planning successful stock content needs a strategic approach to fulfill users’ various needs. So, what should we do? This week’s article will cover the answer to this question through an example that can be seen in everyday life, a car.
[Entry-Level Maintenance]
A car is a comfortable means of transportation, yet it requires detailed maintenance. We could capture this moment with a big budget, including casting a car repair shop with numerous professional devices. However, we could also create a similar outcome with a much lower budget, even with bigger appeal. Start with the scenes that portray entry-level maintenance, such as checking engine rooms, brake pads, and batteries.
[Family First]
Since it is designed primarily for adults, children need additional products while using automobiles for their safety. Therefore, adding child models could add more depth and detail if you are trying to illustrate a lifestyle accompanied by a car. Caretakers loading a stroller in the car, connecting a car seat and a safety belt, and children enjoying their car rides while interacting with their caretakers could be examples.
[Smarter Lifestyle]
A considerable amount of time passed since the car has joined the ranks of smart devices. We can do more than simply putting the smartphone on the car holders to utilize applications since multiple car companies have already released models that interact with smart devices which allows them to ‘control’ various functions and situations. You can let your imagination stretch a little bit more than what we are experiencing now with the help of post-production too.
If your images contain a recognizable face, a model release must be submitted together with the images. In addition, if your images contain a place, an object, pets, or other properties that require consent from ownership, copyright holders, or property rights holders to use them, a property release must be submitted with the images. Not submitting such releases may result in content rejection by the editor.
