Even better, when they film vertically, and then encode it to widescreen. Ensuring that no matter how you view it on a phone it's microscopic.

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

This is the only thing i really hate. I don't give a shit about vertical anymore. We lost that battle.

Sure grandma... Watch your step

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 140 points 10 months ago

My pro move is too change halfway in the same clip so at some point the orientation is just wrong no matter what you do. I also do diagonal shots.

I'm not allowed to film anymore.

[-] LostXOR@kbin.social 46 points 10 months ago

Diagonal is the compromise solution.

[-] TommySalami@lemmy.world 50 points 10 months ago

Call it a dutch angle, and suddenly you're a cinematographer

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

I film upside down and call it the Australian angle.

Then I film this joke and call it the dead horse angle.

I still do. Phones can be turned to view it either way. Screens can't. I'm not gonna ask my bud to get up and rotate his living room TV 90 degrees so we can look at my vacation photos. Plus, until we learn to levitate with our minds, the plane humans interact is and will presumably remain much, much wider than it is tall, so landscape captures more of it.

[-] cyberpunk007@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

Yup. It's a shame the camera lense can't like rotate or something, phones are much easier to hold vertically.

[-] aulin@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

They're just as easy to hold either way though.

This is why 4:3 should become the default aspect ratio for taking videos on phone.

No, I will not be taking questions at this moment.

[-] fogstormberry 20 points 10 months ago

great idea, but 1:1 is what it should have always been

[-] TheGreenGolem@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Nah, we should use some freedom aspect ratio, like 1.47266478:1.984772673

[-] daltotron@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

We are now to use 1x√2 as the optimal aspect ratio, as to allow screens to be put side by side, and then turned into larger screens.

I still question why so many people find it so difficult to just turn the phone 90 degrees to the side when you film with it. Is it because you think you look like a dork when you film a selfie with two hands? Because that's not why you look like a dork.

[-] StitchIsABitch@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

Admittedly you would look like a dork if you filmed at a 45 degree angle.

Note to self: "2 Fast 2 Barbie"(working title) should now be filmed vertically in order to appeal to Gen Z on Tik Tok.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 39 points 10 months ago

Just make sure the main plot happens in the first 3 seconds or else they will get bored

[-] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 19 points 10 months ago

At the very least make sure Subway Surfers is playing in one of the corners

[-] xrtxn@lemmy.sdf.org 31 points 10 months ago

Akschually filming it vertically is not good because we can't insert subway surfers gameplay under the movie. It should be filmed like a small rectangle

[-] AMDIsOurLord@lemmy.ml 12 points 10 months ago

WHAT is up with that shit anyway? It's so annoying

We used to and we still do too.

[-] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 36 points 10 months ago

Ah yes, nothing like seeing a 16:9 picture pan-and-scanned on a portrait display.

It's not a generational thing; it's a filming standard.

Shouldn't you be filming for the device?

Like tiltok should be vertical and yt should be horizontal?

[-] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 39 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I'd say you should be filming for the content.

Someone on a pogo stick in the backyard? Vertically.
Your pet running around in the backyard? Probably horizontally.
Your friend planking in the backyard? ~~Definitely horizontally.~~ Not at all, get new friends.

Until Vine and later tiktok, basically the whole Internet was in the horizontal format and vertical videos would play with huge black boxes on the left and right and in turn you can't really make out the details of the videos as well because they were so small on those screens. Today's internet is very different and has things actually designed for vertical videos so complaining about it makes no sense anymore.

Vertical Video PSA

We should have listened.... Now we have Tik Tok and YouTube Shorts.... 😢

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 17 points 10 months ago

You can still flame people who film vertically on those platforms

Like most problems it’s prevalence is due to a lack of bullying

So people on lemmy are pretty fuckin old eh? Interesting..

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 20 points 10 months ago

hey, some of us are merely kinda fuckin old

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

I wouldn't even consider myself that and I still mock people taking vertical pictures
