1. Aftermovie

High-quality video compilations from festivals and performances shared as an aftermovie or teaser. The top videos were posted by Sunrise Festival and are a compilation of clips from Carl Cox’s performance and of the festival itself.

Tactics to Implement:

  • Caption Length: Keep captions for aftermovies short and sweet to tap into the community, for example on this post the caption is only 15 words. When looking at the data set as a whole, Instagram videos with captions using 0-9 words generated the highest average engagement and views, followed by those with 40-49 words.
  • Various Clips: Videos use multiple angles and perspectives and employ various editing techniques such as slow motion, zooming, and panning. Music is added in sync with the clips.

Content Opportunities:

  • Create a compilation video of performers, performances and festival highlights using high-quality footage from various perspectives. Teasers and aftermovies are a great way to keep the excitement going between events and let people know what they can expect in the future.
