The Video Trend: The Proof – Social Media
Having deja-vu? Or did you predict this trend yourself? Or did you see your children using video on social media? You’ve probably seen this video trend unfolding over the internet these previous months with social media. It’s becoming increasingly accepted and popular.
Snapchat
Cast your thoughts to social media. Have you ever thought about the hype which surrounds Snapchat?
What’s it all about? The Younger generation spends huge amounts of time on Snapchat.
Newer updates is now all about sending video. You could think of this “Snap Story” as a TV channel featuring you. And it could be as long or as short as you wanted it to be with a mix of videos and images showcasing your life over the course of 24 hours.
Remember when Instagram was a small yet popular photo sharing site? Now an everyday branding exercise for many businesses over the world, Instagram have recently added their own version of Snapchat’s “snap” video stories. Notice that the more “interesting” stories are video based and showcase “current” updates of the day-to-day activities of individuals (or businesses attempting to better connect with their target audience).
Slowly but surely, Facebook has also been accommodating this new trend. “Facebook Live” allows Facebook users to post video content of their lives at that point in time. Facebook has also added a subtle “Add video profile picture”.
