One of the best new apps to hit the market this year was Vine, the video app that gives you six seconds to strut your stuff. Believe it or not, six seconds is actually enough time to tell a story (even a great one!) and get your message across to viewers. For those of you who just can’t get enough of using vine for business and personal, here’s a few tips and tricks to take your Vine videos pro.
Using Vine for Business: 6 Tips for 6 Seconds of Vine
- First of all: Don’t let the six seconds stress you out. I know, I know – six seconds seems like nothing – but don’t worry about it. Use the time wisely.
- Discover your own style. Just like on other social media channels, successful Viners stand out because they have a style all their own. Think about your own personal style – the colors, objects and inspirations that speak to you. Use those to motivate your Vine imagination.
- Envision your final product. Whether you sketch your video or simply see it in your mind, having a vision and a plan for how to get there, will help you accomplish your final goal.
- Use a tripod. If you’re going to go pro – shaky video has to go out. Choose a tripod (or Two!) that will allow you some flexibility for both horizontal and vertical shots.
- Go for a #loop. Some of the most popular Vine videos are loops – meaning they can play over and over. Try and master this technique by paying careful attention to your frames.
- Remember – Vine is a social channel, so follow other Viners for inspiration!
