Instagram

Instagram is a social media platform that was created in 2010 and is owned by Facebook. It is designed for sharing photos and videos, and it has become increasingly popular due to its user-friendly interface and powerful editing tools.

On Instagram, users can upload photos and videos, which can be filtered, cropped, and adjusted for brightness, contrast, and saturation. They can also add captions, hashtags, and filters to their posts. Users can browse their friends’ feeds, like and comment on their photos, and私信 (direct message) each other.

One of the key features of Instagram is its Explore page, which shows users a customized feed of photos and videos from accounts that they may be interested in. This is based on their interests, the accounts they follow, and the photos and videos they like and comment on.

Instagram also allows users to create stories, which are photos and videos that disappear after 24 hours. Users can add stickers, filters, and text to their stories, and they can also collaborate with friends by adding their stories to a shared Story.

In addition to these features, Instagram has introduced a range of new features in recent years, including IGTV, which allows users to upload and watch long-form video content, and Instagram Reels, which is a short-form video feature similar to TikTok.

IG Reels: 5 Beginner mistakes

First, the text should be accurate, the placement should be!

Many users may not have the sound on to browse Instagram, so adding text to "Reels" videos is one of the necessary elements to make them attractive to watch. Novice users need to pay attention to the length and legibility of the text, so that the audience can understand the content in a short time; And make good use of Instagram's original blue standard line to avoid placing the text too high or too low.

Second, the film ratio is 9:16, but the content is 4:5?

While IG Reels has the same 9:16 video ratio as IG Story, given the 4:5 ratio of posts to the main interface, new users need to pay attention to what can be shown in the 4:5 interface to minimize the chance that viewers miss or skip the clip.

Third, the content should be concentrated, and the reach rate is higher!

Excessive and scattered short film content will reduce the reach rate of short film. Novice users need to know the main content of the video, so that viewers can understand the content in a short time, and it is also convenient for Instagram to classify your video content and increase the chances of promoting it to potential viewers. The content ratio is based on one main topic: 3-5 supplementary content.

One thing to keep in mind is that Instagram tends to drive down the reach of logographic videos. For example, most of the videos produced by other mobile phone programs will add some program logos, so users need to know more about how to remove the Logo.

4. Save videos in stages to reduce the chance of re-creating Instagram Reels!

The phone runs out of power, Instagram pops up unexpectedly, someone calls you, and the user will never know what interrupted him or her while shooting, producing, or editing a video. Therefore, novice users need to store short films that are still unfinished by stage, such as: filmed short films, and added short films with good text. During the production process, storing records for backup can greatly reduce the opportunity and pain of re-production from scratch.

Always remember to Call For Action!

Among the updated projects announced by Instagram for 2022, the most noteworthy ones are the main interface and the tweet sequence. In addition to sorting and selecting interface displays according to "Favourite" and "Following", users will browse Instagram according to the chronological order of posts. Coupled with the fact that users can Explore different posts within the "Explore" interface, novice users need to actively invite users to track accounts or interact with posts to add more attention to the content.
