How did you author the video you recorded for upload to Instagram?
In the last week’s Instagram post, I unknowingly created a special style of my account, which was unexpected, and I am happy to maintain such consistency. Because of COVID-19, I can’t go out to shoot, so I chose the DJI gimble that has always troubled me as the theme this time-why is it so heavy? ? This is a problem that makes many photographers very troubled.
When shooting, I still chose to turn off all other light sources at night. Using controllable lights can make shooting more efficient. I used the LED lights that I have been using for three weeks to come from the side, and I also continued the Lighting plan to keep all post styles consistent. I used Samsung’s camera function, and all parameters were adjusted to automatic. In the post-processing room, I rarely use Instagram’s filters. I used the Willow filter with a parameter of 100 because, after the shooting, I found a crucial issue-the overall colour of my picture became warmer than all previous works, and the consistency was interrupted. So I used this black and white filter to keep the image clean and cold. As Manovich said, people will use a specific style on Instagram to define their identity. I want to use refreshing and straightforward to interpret what I think of the sense of technology.
How did you publish the video you recorded for upload to Instagram?
In the publishing process, as I said before, in the three weeks of Instagram post authoring and publishing, during the distributing procedure, I slowly discovered my gradually unified style. In the Instagram gallery, the whole looks cold and concise. In order to maintain this style, after the shooting, I found a problem because my carpet is a warm yellow. Although I have controlled the light source to minimize the colour temperature of the picture, the overall picture is still warm. In Samsung’s video editor, I tried many methods, but the adjustment was not always optimal. So before the last publish, I applied the built-in black and white filter in Instagram to solve this problem.
I wrote Heavy enough to be used as a dumbbell in the description and added a series of tags about photography and digital products-#baddesign #djironins #dji # gh5s #gimbal #videography. Considering my experience and the same feedback from others on the Internet, DJI RoninS’s bulky shortcomings are unacceptable to many people. With these in mind, such descriptions and tags will certainly resonate to a certain extent after they are released.
How did you distribute the video you recorded for upload to Instagram?
Because of my own identity and community, I found that in the process of my distribution, social media that is more biased towards Asian people than Twitter, Baidu Tieba, Weibo, and WeChat public accounts feel handier. Not long after the post was issued, I have received two or three Likes of unknown photography enthusiasts. Because this Gimble is definitely one of the heaviest used by most photographers, it is easy for the audience to resonate. Also, DJI is the industry’s most influential in the field of drones or Gimble, so the topic about it has always been concerned. As always, the content and description of my posts tend to be more and more consistent, which can well capture the target group and drain each other through a series of tags, forming a virtuous circle. If the account operation is more mature, this will Will distribute my content continuously to my target audience.
