We chose Instagram as one of the tools/services we wanted to explore, seeing as how it is a commonly used social media platform. Although it is constrained to 15 seconds, the caption allows you to make your description as long as you like, and we felt that this might be a good alternative to making a travel vlog review happen.

One thing that we liked most about using Instagram as our means for this sketch would be the usage of hashtags and also how we could tag the location to help Instagram users easily find our video review. It was one of the ways that we could encourage and welcome a larger audience out of our circle of peers.

However, we did think about some other problems as well. Seeing how Instagram is a very visual-based platform, we were not sure if people would take the time to read our description as it could be quite a chunky amount of text. Instagram also does not allow users to pause the video, which may be difficult for those who want to have a closer look at a particular thing. Apart from that, we found it tough to pick which parts we might want to incorporate in the Instagram video, as the whole thing can only be 15 seconds long.

After having done this sketch, we felt like it might not be as feasible for this genre of vlog reviews.
