How did you author the video you recorded for upload to Instagram?
I took this video with my iPhone 6s using in the inbuilt camera app with the intention of editing within that app. I was initially going to take a 5 second video of the door when my cat entered the shot just staring at the door so I thought ‘everyone loves a cat video’..he can be in it. I did a quick crop edit to shorten the video by about 20 seconds and then uploaded it.
How did you publish the video you recorded for upload to Instagram?
I published the video to my personal Instagram account by selecting it from the library. It did chop out the bottom of the screen publishing this way but not enough for it to be a problem. As I was uploading this video to my personal accounts (Instagram, Facebook) I thought it needed an explanation and a touch of humour so I gave it a caption that helped it sync to the tone of my accounts. I chose not to hashtag this particular video as I would like to try different approaches to the three videos.
How did you distribute the video you published on Instagram to
other social media services?
I started by posting it to my personal Instagram account and using the share function within the app to add it to my Facebook account. I found that adding a short description of why I was adding a video of my door helped put context to anyone who came across the post. Having a cat in there always helps in the land of social media.
