I would make sure that the picture I am taking has an aesthetic and visually pleasing background to keep peoples attention to the product.

For event coverage, Instagram trends that feel dynamic, authentic, and easy to watch work best. Short, fast paced clips with fun transitions like quick zoom ins, jump cuts, or match cut transitions between different areas of the event grab attention. POV or “day in the life” style videos make viewers feel like they’re experiencing the event themselves. Using trending audio or challenges that tie into the vibe of the festival also boosts engagement. Overall, content that’s visually engaging, relatable, and shareable tends to perform the best.

I would approach someone for a quick interview by being friendly, confident, and clear about what I’m doing. I’d start with a smile and a simple introduction: “Hi! I’m capturing fun moments for Klar Labs at Venice Fest, can I ask you one quick question on camera?” I’d keep the ask short and casual so it feels easy to say yes, and I’d make it fun by showing excitement about the festival or letting them know it’s just for Instagram content. Being approachable, upbeat, and respectful of their time usually gets people to agree quickly and gives me authentic, engaging footage.
