Sant Jordi with Spot Locations

1. Choose the right location

The first and most important step is finding the perfect setting. The location of your photoshoot or ad is essential to convey the emotion and message you want. Some ideal options include:

• La Rambla in Barcelona: The hustle and bustle of the city, flower stalls, and historic bookstores provide a vibrant and lively setting.
• Traditional small bookstores: These spaces are perfect for evoking the literary tradition of Sant Jordi.
• Parks and gardens: With roses everywhere, these locations offer a natural and romantic atmosphere.
• Charming squares: Quiet spaces surrounded by typical Catalan architecture, ideal for a more intimate atmosphere.

2. Plan the theme and visual elements

The Day of Sant Jordi is filled with symbols: the rose, the book, the red and green colors, among others. Think about how to integrate these elements into your shoot to reinforce the identity of the celebration. Some visual tips include:

• Red roses: They are the strongest symbol of Sant Jordi, so including them in the set, whether on a table, in the hands of the protagonists, or as decoration, is always a great choice.
• Books: Take advantage of the literary tradition of Sant Jordi and incorporate books into your campaign, whether as a backdrop, accessories, or an active part of the visual story.
• Warm colors: Red, pink, and green tones evoke the spirit of the celebration and can be integrated into the wardrobe, decoration, and lighting of the shoot.

3. Take advantage of natural light

Light is crucial for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Sant Jordi, with its vibrant spring energy, offers soft, diffused natural light that can add a unique touch to your shoot. If you're filming outdoors, look for the golden hour, just at sunrise or sunset, when the light is warmer and softer.

4. Capture authentic emotions

The Day of Sant Jordi is a celebration of love, but also of cultural connection. Ensure that the people in your shoot convey genuine emotions: smiles, knowing glances, and gestures of affection. Whether you're filming a couple, a family, or an individual, make sure the emotions flow naturally.

5. Use interactive elements

Another idea you can incorporate is interactivity, which is especially effective in the context of Sant Jordi. Think of scenes like giving a rose, exchanging books, or walking through a square filled with flower stalls. These elements not only help create a more authentic atmosphere but also provide a visual narrative that makes your campaign feel closer to the audience.

6. Make the location part of the story

The location should be another character in your ad. If you decide to film in an iconic spot in Barcelona or a picturesque corner of a Catalan village, make sure the space stands out as much as the people.
