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.
This is the only thing i really hate. I don't give a shit about vertical anymore. We lost that battle.
I still mock them
Sure grandma... Watch your step
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.
Diagonal is the compromise solution.
Call it a dutch angle, and suddenly you're a cinematographer
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.
Yup. It's a shame the camera lense can't like rotate or something, phones are much easier to hold vertically.
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.
great idea, but 1:1 is what it should have always been
Nah, we should use some freedom aspect ratio, like 1.47266478:1.984772673
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.
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.
Just make sure the main plot happens in the first 3 seconds or else they will get bored
At the very least make sure Subway Surfers is playing in one of the corners
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
We used to and we still do too.
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?
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.
We should have listened.... Now we have Tik Tok and YouTube Shorts.... 😢
You can still flame people who film vertically on those platforms
Like most problems it’s prevalence is due to a lack of bullying
...and I hate it
So people on lemmy are pretty fuckin old eh? Interesting..
hey, some of us are merely kinda fuckin old
I wouldn't even consider myself that and I still mock people taking vertical pictures
