Creating an Instagram video for photographer Curtis Padley
For this task we were placed into groups to create a 60 to 80 second video made for social media ‘stories’ modes, out of the themes of healthy living, social networking apps, and hobbies and interests. Social media we felt would be a difficult theme to film, and we had a good story for hobbies and interests.
Our chosen story being about Curtis Padley and his Photography interest, we knew this was an opportunity to get lots of unique locations for shots. We planned a time scheduled route through the city and outskirts of York to get a variation of locations and shots to reflect the places his interest will take him. Knowing this was a Instagram stories video, we knew to film the footage with the camera on its side for a portrait frame designed for a phone.
Collectively we got an abundance of interesting shots to choose from, along with showcasing Curtis’ genuine work among the video. We all worked together on decisions, but being the director for the task I took the lead in planning and directing the shots captured, and made sure everything was conducted in a safe way, we followed of risk assessment strictly,
Reflecting on the project I would have added more animations for the Instagram tag and animations to his social media so people could more directly follow him from watching the video. But for the Instagram ‘Stories’ feature I believe this to be a very effective video around Curtis’ hobby and interest.
