THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!

[@ArifKhan.]

'Vertical Composition' is the key take away (for me). Bravo!

[@theotherHOLLYWOOD]

Amusing that this video on how to shoot vertical video is shot in horizontal mode.😎

[@replaylounge]

one more great series. i cant wait to watch !

[@connorthompson05]

As always, nice work Aiden!

[@rgbhere]

This is a lovely piece of knowledge that was shared, Aidin. Thank you @Adorama for posting this. I always found it difficult to look at vertical videos on phones, and always avoided it, but now I know the reason why it looks terrible. But this video showed, me that it can look beautiful too, and why it can look beautiful. The example shots shown in this video and the fundamental theory behind those shots, enforces the rules of how a vertical shot should be taken. This really challenges a school of thought - can a full movie be taken with these fundamentals in place.

[@varbergsforeningsservice3581]

Great tips, thanks!

[@bmblanc9470]

Good tips ! Thanks

[@kuramafox1290]

Thank you for making this video. Can you please tell us which focal length is best for vertical video? Which prime is the best for vertical video?

[@marclabro]

nice tuto. I was thinking that video is for TV so must be horizontal while i liked my vertical videos with iphone 14 pro max. Next step is how to process it in dobe premiere pro ? add a 16:9 landscape background for TV presentation ?

[@shengyuanhsuphotography7255]

thanks for sharing

[@DotAndDab]

Great tips

[@ne4a]

awesome video/ bravo

[@trueloyaltee]

amaizing video

[@ritrattoaziendale]

What about shooting 4k horizontally, and then get the vertical shots in 1080p (a phone won't display much more pixels then the 1920px vertical with the 1080px width) via crop of the 4k footage? Could be viable to shoot only one type of clips but getting two formats? Yeah, of course you have to look for some kind of composition that will fit both formats, and that's not easy...

[@SamanthaGJones]

Just shoot vertical.

[@OutdoorFlame-io6cr]

Tell me best aspect ratio for vertical shoot

[@pramodagrawal1454]

How do i convert my horizontal video to verticle

[@sijilo]

👍🏻

[@Davinchielwxp]

The best option I know of to solve this problem is upscaling with Artificial Intelligence. ✌🏼

[@joeldiaz141]

Uh excuse me, my mom is a pro at shooting vertical videos.

[@thearabicdp]

First 🥇

[@inspiredKREASHUNS]

Uhm, what about using an actual phone camera? Thanks!

[@creativechristiancontent]

Did he say he would be using a phone camera for his filmmaking!?

[@hamradiofrequencies]

Absolutely NOTHIN looks "amazing" with verticle shots! Worst idea since unsliced bread!

[@reneweisz9157]

How to shoot vertical video. Easy as pie, you don't! Enough said.

[@unknowndevice007]

Vertical Videos Are Not Great
