How did you author (the photo or video) you recorded for upload to Instagram?
I decided to record a silly video of me in the pantry to compliment the photo of it. I took the video on the camera app of my Google Pixel 2 as the Instagram app requires you to hold down the shutter button to record. I got my mother to film and we had to do a couple of takes to get it right. The original video is 2:39 long, however I decided to trim it on my the Google Photos app with the basic inbuilt editing features. I did this as I thought it would be easier than trying to trim it down on the Instagram app as it is longer than the one minute limit for videos. I didn’t add any filters or effects as I felt it didn’t add any value to the video.
How did you publish (the photo or video) you recorded for upload to Instagram?
Before uploading, I captioned the video “Personal helper in my pantry” along with a crazy face emoji and a woozy face emoji. I didn’t add any hashtags but included the location “My Pantry”. Although it is not an actual location tag, as when you try to press it nothing happens.
How did you distribute (the photo or video) you published on Instagram to other social media services?
Like the previous post I didn’t add any hashtags and as the location tag doesn’t show the actual location, I expect distribution amongst other users on the network to be low. Also like the previous post I uploaded the images to Twitter and Facebook from the Instagram app by turning on the “Share to Twitter” and “Share to Facebook” options. This automatically uploads the video to Twitter and Facebook at the same time as Instagram. It doesn’t actually upload the image to Twitter but rather the caption with a link to the Instagram post. However, when you uploaded to Facebook from the Instagram app, it actually uploads the image and caption to your Facebook profile, as if it was uploaded from the Facebook app. The only way to tell it wasn’t uploaded from the Facebook app is that it says “uploaded to Instagram” underneath your name.
