So, remember how I wrote on starting up my Instagram account and taking it seriously? I did. I have been going with it and it is not as dreamy as I hoped it’ll be (my wi-fi condition is not ideal for building that the way I want to) but I better start now and sort the rest later. Anyway, I connected to someone who was doing the same and when I saw how beautiful her videos were, I pondered on if the way I was going about mine was right after all.
So, I have this idea to do clips and then talk over them with what I feel is right for the moment. I am yet to discover what my steps should be from here in terms of tones or what not. All I know is that I have started and it is going quite well. Anyway, I saw hers and it was mostly captions and soft music with her demonstrating. I loved how put together it was and how simple it all looked. There was not fussing from the way I viewed it and she just looked like she had been doing it for a long time which is not completely true. Just like me, she started to keep records only recently.
So, I began to doubt if I was doing the right thing. I got worried that maybe I was taking the wrong approach and that tiny competitive part of me rose up. I hated myself in that moment, only for a second and then I squashed the ugly head of that bad side. I indulged in her videos and was impressed with how sleek she made it look. The beauty of what I watched wasn’t the edits, it was all her. She was radiating confidence, something I have sullenly admitted that I lack. It is another aspect of myself I am tackling this year.
Anyway, after sometime, I decided that my videos are just fine and if there was anything I needed to improve or improvise on, the opportunity would present itself. I would see it with time. I truly hope I do not miss it and that I grow where I need to. I felt better after that refreshing thought. It isn’t a sprint neither is it competition. This is something I am doing for myself and by myself and would pay off eventually. It is a process and I am still figuring many parts of it. I reached out to her of course, asking for tips. She admitted that she was just roughing it and that proves I was right. It is not the edits that makes the person. It is the person.
With this new revelation close to my heart, I began planning the videos I want to shoot for the month of February. I need to build my portfolio and hone my skills. There is no better way than practice. The more I do it, the better I get at it.
