AUTHORING: This video was shot using my iPhone 6 plus rear ended camera. It was a little difficult to get the correct angling of my body to take the video as the door is tall and I wanted to get as much of it in the camera frame as possible. When it came time to adjusting the video to fit into Instagram’s infamous white square frame, a lot like what I’m predicting for the next few posts was just manoeuvring and finding the right point to which all of what I wanted viewed could fit into the frame.

For this video, I tried both with and without flash as I wanted to see if the flash could help out how dark the apartment was at the time, however I decided to choose without flash as it looked too harsh.

For this video I decided to go with one smooth run of filming, I didn’t think that using the start-stop touch feature was necessary as I just wanted to show the doors pulling function.

As I tried out using both with and without flash, I resulting in having a few videos to choose from however it was easy for me to come to the conclusion of which that I wanted to upload.

When flicking through which video to use, I realised that the one I had chosen had an unnecessarily long pause at the end so I decided to crop it out.

PUBLISHING: For this week’s post I added in a caption as even though you can clearly see that there is food inside of the cupboard, I wanted to make it easily understandable where the door belonged. I added a location status saying “my pantry” as I thought it’d make something within the post a little humorous.

I configured the video to play automatically as I thought it’d be easier for the viewer when scrolling and looked a little more cleaner within the feed.

DISTRIBUTION: The video was obviously distributed to Instagram, however it was also shared within my personal Facebook account.  While uploading to Instagram, I decided to use hashtags as I thought to myself that it would make my caption look a little more complete and allow my post to have more exposure within the Instagram app.
