10 Ideas For a One Minute Video. With Examples

In this post, I'll list 1 minute video ideas that will look great on your Instagram profile. The themes and specific examples below will give you some creative ideas of your own.

Since one minute is a limit imposed by Instagram on the length of videos you post on a page, let's discuss ideas that are suitable for this platform and will increase viewer engagement.

# 1 Conversation Videos

This is the type of video in which you share your thoughts on a topic that interests you, which will depend on the topic of your channel.

So, if you are a fashion blogger, you can tell many girls to follow the same standard of beauty, if you talk about sports, share your impressions of the last match, and if you are a schoolboy, tell us about what problem you have to cope with at school. In a personal blog, you can tell a story that recently happened to you.

If you have a personal blog, make a video in which you tell non-trivial facts about yourself. Here are some examples.

• My first childish lie
• I wish I did it earlier
• I can't live without...
• Intuition did not disappoint
• The stupidest joke

Another one-minute video idea is to videotape your thoughts on a quote. To do this, it is enough to choose a succinct expression and tell what you think about it: do you agree or disagree and why.

You can also engage in dialogue with subscribers by asking them for help or advice. Try to choose a topic that will be interesting not to you alone, but also to people who read the comments. To do this, think about what you could ask a friend, and address this question to subscribers.

# 2 Transformation

Try a task (or a long challenge), such as doing 10 push-ups from the floor, while now you can do 0. Capture minute videos of your attempts and intermediate results.

This type of content can become a topic for an entire blog if you set yourself a big task in the Fitness-Bikini Championship in a year, pass the exam with a high score, do tricks on a skateboard, or restore an old Mercedes in the garage.

Viewers love to watch how a person moves towards a goal and overcomes difficulties. Going towards some goal, you will no longer think about the fact that you do not have topics for the next video.

# 3 Weekly video

Such a video might be about popular hashtags such as #TuesdayTips (Tuesday tips), #ThrowbackThurthday (nostalgic Thursday), #Monday morning, and more.

Here is a list of hashtags for every day:

Monday : #MondayMotivation, #Mondaycontact, #MondayRun, #Mondaybezmeasa, #MancrushMonday (tag about famous men we respect)

Tuesday : #TravelTuesday, #Tuesday poehali, #TransformationTuesday, #Tuesdayunusual

Wednesday : #WednesdaySmall Friday, #WomancrushWednesday (famous and popular women tag)

Thursday : #Thursday fishday, #WellnessWednesday, #Thursday cat, #Thursday of memoirs, #WineWednesday, #TGIT (Thank God It's Thursday / Lord, thank you Thursday)

Friday : #FridayEvening, #FridayNight, #FridayFun, #Friday 13, #Friday is a heckler, #Friday is this Friday

Saturday : #Saturday morning, #SaturdayStyle, #Saturday day off, #Saturdayat home, #SaturdayWork #SaturdayShoutOut (or #SS, acknowledgment and gratitude tag)

Sunday : #Sunday even, #SundayRead, #Sundayworkout, #Sunday recipe, #Sunday shopping

If none of the above works, you can come up with your own hashtag and shoot a video on your own topic. For example, on the @kilya_kilina channel, the author has made her hashtags # minute_efficiency or # breakfastskilina, which are at the same time constant headings of her instablog, in which she shares useful and interesting information.

# 4 Tutorial Video and Tips and Tricks

If you know how to do something cool, make a tutorial post about it. For example, you know how to behave in the gym, you know how to do BMX tricks, you can make a harmonious make-up, you know how to make a new effect in a video. Share this information with others.

You can show the whole process, or you can record a video on the topic:

• 3 ways to do something
• how fast …
• 3 things you shouldn't do when ...
• 3 tips for effective ...
• 3 ... for beginners

Now let's talk about minute videos that teach us how to quickly complete a task. On the English-language Internet, such videos are collectively called "Tips & Tricks". They are similar to life hacks, which I will talk about a little later.

Such videos can be dubbed, but if you are ashamed of your voice or yourself in the frame, this is not a reason to deny yourself a blog. In recent posts we just talked about ideas for a video without a voice and without a face, which are able to collect to collect a large number of views.

# 5 Life hacks

Viewers love helpful content (well, or what seems useful). Perhaps that's why channels with life hacks or videos on the topic “How to do something…” are incredibly popular.

Therefore, if you recently learned about some new method that will help you quickly cope with a task, tell us about it on your page.

Life hacks have become such a powerful trend that now you can not only repeat the videos that you saw somewhere, but also check such tips for suitability.

# 6 DIY

Another type of useful content is DIY videos. In one minute, you can talk about a little trick that you use when doing your hobby or talk about a new idea that you can put into practice. You can find a step- by- step guide to DIY craft photography here.

# 7 Video recipe

Post a recipe for your favorite dish. Such a video can also be laid in 60 seconds.

In a recent post, we just "bone by bone" disassembled the whole process of shooting a culinary video.

To make the video fit in the allotted minute, write a script before shooting. In it, reflect each frame that you plan to shoot and the time allotted for it.

Give preference to recipes that are easy to repeat. Also, make sure the ingredients are easy to find in stores.

Below, indicate the products used and their exact quantity.

# 8 Review and Unboxing

This is a type of video that can be easily edited in one minute. It is suitable for both personal and thematic blogs.

In a personal blog, you can review recent purchases, packages from Aliexpress, etc., advise or not recommend items for purchase.

Such videos can be filmed without sound (as shown in the example) or with comments.

If you can't manage to fit all the information into the time limit, feel free to speed up the video. Today, cartoon voices do not bother anyone. Therefore, if you want to tell more, press x2 in the editing program.

These videos are shot in the overhead format. This means you need a work surface, a dedicated tripod and lighting. We considered this method in detail using the example of video recipes .

# 9 Relaxing video

On the hashtag #relaxingvideos you can find many examples of videos that depict the processes of mixing substances, pouring, painting. Such videos are hypnotic and can "turn off the brain."

ASMR videos fall into the same category and focus not on the visual image, but on the sounds produced.

These videos are easy to shoot, but if you choose ASMR you will need a sensitive microphone.

Relaxing videos include drawing videos and speedpaints. If you are fond of something like that, check out the post where we tell in detail how you can shoot such a video .

# 10 Vines and sketches

Humorous content on Instagram has given us many new names. Take, for example, the hilarious Vines with Ida Galich or Nastya Ievleva. These short videos can help you too.

In a recent post, we just showed you 100 video sketch ideas, as well as revealed the main secrets of a cool comedy video .

Film in 60 seconds

Videos that fit in one minute may be necessary not only for Instagram. You may be thinking about making your own short film.

These films "hang" the main idea in your head, without giving direct answers to the questions posed. Here are some examples of such works with an intriguing plot.

Animation can also be one minute. It would seem that 60 seconds is not enough, but during this time you can both make the viewer laugh and convey a deep thought.
