What's a good storytelling post format for Instagram if I have compelling personal content?

A carousel with good storytelling in the caption works well, but you’ll get far more attention if you turn it into a video. Speak the story out loud in front of the camera while showing the visuals. That format tends to perform much better than text-based posts. Video content consistently outperforms static posts on Instagram.
