WEEK 10 | VIDEO.

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

I used my Samsung s5 rear camera to record this video. I recorded this video various times, trying to get the framing right so the locks wouldn’t get cut off–especially the overhead bolt. I ended up recording it four times before I decided on the fourth attempt. I did it in one-take, similar to the video that I took in week 9. I left the audio because I wanted to keep the sounds of the locks.

I had forgot to change the cover of the video as I had forgotten that it was a feature; I usually don’t use Instagram to upload videos so I wasn’t used to it being an option. Since I can’t go back to edit the video itself after it’s published, I left cover image as it was instead of changing it.

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

I put the caption “security matters when you live in Sunshine”. In the tutorial, Nash spoke about our accounts needing a theme or a “brand” that we wanted to “sell”. I guess what I want to explore is the various ways that doors–some falling in their usual way, and others in different ways. As the video was recorded at home, I didn’t tag the location but the caption does state that I reside somewhere in Sunshine.

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

To distribute this video, I toggled the button to allow Instagram to post to Twitter and Tumblr for me. Since the tags were in the caption instead of a comment, the video appeared in the tags on Twitter. As for Tumblr, the tags were automatically added to the tags section of the post, which was a little surprising since I had to manually input the tags for the photo.
