Another great feature on Instagram is the ability to upload short videos, which is somewhat similar to Vine or to SnapChat. You can use this to talk directly to your viewers, to tell a short story or to convey something that you can’t put across in words –you can even place a small advert here –though again you don’t want it to be too ‘on the nose’ in terms of marketing.
Something that’s currently very popular is to use an app called ‘Lapse It’. As you may have guessed by the name, Lapse It is a time-lapse app which means it will ‘film’ you for a while by taking photos once every 1, 10, 60 etc. seconds. This then creates a video that shows you changing position rapidly and which can tell a much better story in a few seconds than a regular video.
Lapse It can be used for instance to show you and your friends playing in the sea or on the beach if your video is about travel, it can be used to show time passing while you work at the computer, it could be used to show a workout in a short space of time… etc. Definitely one to consider adding!
