1. How did you author (the photo or video) you recorded for upload to Instagram?

I recorded this video using my 12 megapixell rear camera of my Galaxy Note 8. The video’s resolution is 1920×1080. The video displays the struggles I face when opening doors in a comedic way. It’s not static –  I was recording with one hand and opening the door with the other. I took the video one time (there aren’t many ways you can open a door repeatedly  and not be judged by surrounding people). The video wasn’t meant to be aesthetically pleasing or cinematic, so I didn’t put much thought into authoring/editing it. Also, the ‘amateur’ look helped serve the purpose of the video.

2. How did you publish (the photo or video) you recorded for upload to
Instagram?

Upon publishing, I didn’t use any Instagram filters, but I did use the location feature as well as the caption. I put in hashtags to facilitate distribution (that got me likes in seconds, wow!). Also, I kept the audio as it is, because I want the frantic pressing of the door button and the sighs to be heard to emphasize comedy.

3. How did you distribute (the photo or video) you published on Instagram to other
social media services?

I used the instant sharing to Facebook and Twitter. The sharing was immediate in contrast to legacy video and the pre-Instagram age.
