 The Figures

A long with the easily accessible Instagram came their handy business feature "Insights". Insights allowed us to monitor the behavior of our Instagram and see how well it was doing throughout the course of semester 2. We were able to track and manipulate our uploads depending on when our followers were most active so that we could reach as many people as possible

Below you can see the full insights we have collected:








 Advertising

At first we had an explosive interaction with friends and family reaching out and wishing to collaborate. It was great at first but we noticed a natural decline in the followers and likes ratio. We decided to experiment with Instagram's showcase payment options. James set up a payment option that would last 5 days for 5 euro. This way one of our posts and our profiles was able to appear on over 6,000 individuals Instagram Feed and they had the option to click on it. We decided to advertise one of our more strong videos about Lee Byrne. This video initially had 30 views and 3 likes and now has a staggering 2,800 views and over 100 likes.

Instagram Design Method

Image
    Instagram Layout Instagram Design & How it works Instagram is designed to allow you to upload photos in a grid form. 3 across and infinite amount downwards. Knowing this we decided to use it to our advantage. Instagram allows you to post multiple photos in a connected frame to create a big picture to your viewing pleasure. By doing this we were able to create an aesthetically appealing experience for the content viewer. Our options We had many options to come up with depending on our design. Originally we wanted it to be a black background with white text but after trial and error we discovered the black to be very discomforting and negative for our positive outlook on the project. We decided to use the instagram's white HEX code as the spacers between each person/character showcased. This allowed us to work with more white space and use it to our advantage so that someone viewing our instagram is given the choice and pleasure of scrolling along our page.

Logo Process By Conor Brennan

Image
The first logo made by James was our primary logo for the first semester. As the project progressed, the team agreed that we should further develop on our previous idea. I myself designed the updated logo during semester two using Adobe InDesign. James later animated the logo in AfterEffects. We decided to go with a more modern looking design that used a lot more white space. We went with a more geometric look this time around. The logo is an hourglass to symbolize time. The breaks in the logo are supposed to represent change. There is no sand inside the hourglass to symbolize the fact that people do not know how much time they have left to live.

Equipment & Reflection By Conor Brennan

Image
It never would have been possible to produce any of the Project Chronos videos without the right equipment for the job. Over the course of two semesters, the team became a lot more familiar with using cameras and microphones. All of the audio for our videos was captured using a shotgun and zoom mic. After editing some of our outdoor videos we learned it would have been more suitable to use a lapel mic. The zoom recorder picked up a lot of background noise when placed on the ground below our participants which led to some videos being unusable.   Equipment List   DSLR Camera's  Tripods Zoom Mic Shotgun Mic  Memory Cards Batteries  Go Pro Camera Image by Larry Jacobsen
