It’s one of my most-used platforms, especially when it comes to Instagram Stories. I love how creative and quick stories can be and how they encourage honesty when you’re face-forward to the camera. To help encourage you to love Instagram Stories too, this week’s episode is with freelance creator and storyteller, Dillon Osborne. As one of the most creative Instagram Story creators, Dillan is one of the best people to advise you on how to make the most out of this incredible feature. We talk about how he creates content and how you can use mobile apps to create amazing story content. Key Takeaways Covered in the Podcast - One of the best things you can when it comes to Instagram Stories is to learn how to manage the 15 seconds you are given. To do that, you need to know how to edit your videos in a way that maximises the time you have. - Use techniques you have seen on TV and in movies to inspire you to be creative. - If you’re using video, you don’t need to tell people what you’re doing as people can see that. Think of more creative ways to share your story. - When it comes to video there are both visual and audio aspects. What people don’t realise is that your visual and audio don’t need to correlate. Show you’re doing something and try to tell a different story; it will hold people’s attention much longer. - Make the most of b-roll content. - You don’t have to use fancy equipment, as video can be filmed on your camera phone. Once you start worrying about what camera you’re filming on, you miss the point of creating relatable content. - Film as little as you can so you don’t have to edit as much. To edit on your mobile, Adobe Rush and Splice are great options. - Although it can be awkward to film yourself in public, it’s easy once you learn how to be tactful. Look at your surroundings and decide the perfect opportunity. - If you need to transfer music to your phone, use a Dropbox that you can access through Adobe Rush. - If you think people will be viewing your story without audio, add subtitles letting them know they may want to listen. - To get started, you need to understand the story. Find out how you can tell as story without speaking. - Every story needs a start, middle and end. Make sure your story has an opening and closing scene, so people know what is happening.
