again, you still think you are only watching what you are focusing on, you are wrong,
This is a deliberate evasion of what I asked. I asked when the last time was that you watched a vertically oriented video where the picture extended vertically beyond your field of view. My stance is that you’re not losing anything by changing the periphery to the top and bottom rather than the left or right, and you aren’t demonstrating at all that you do lose anything. Obviously you lose the size of the video when you’re watching on desktop, but that’s your choice, your fault. You might as well be complaining that movies aren’t released on VHS anymore. Desktop is an outdated form of information sourcing, and it doesn’t make sense to complain when people don’t produce content specifically with that medium in mind
so I was looking for a stationary cloud or something as a reference
It’s not any more likely for a cloud to appear in any given video to the left or right of the object versus above or below the object. You are purely speculating about whether you would have had better landmarks. I’m sure there are horizontal videos out there that would have included better perspective landmarks if they had been filmed vertically
That's retarded, that's why some directors blocked movie studios from distributing their film onto mobiles, if you can't appreciate something as intended then you are just wasting everyone's time
Again, we’re not talking about cinematography. We’re not talking about art. We’re talking about information relay. An event happened in every day life, someone wants other people to see this event, of course it makes more sense to film it in the aspect that the viewers will be watching by default
My stance is that you’re not losing anything by changing the periphery to the top and bottom rather than the left or right
yes you are, go watch a hollywood film in a vertical orientation, you'd hate it. Vertical orientations are just unnatural to vision systems consisting of two horizontal eyes
It’s not any more likely for a cloud to appear in any given video to the left or right of the object versus above or below the object
I've just tried switching orientation on my iPad while looking at a ruler, vertical loses part of the image to the sides, maybe 15%?

That's just you If I'm taking pictures of me disassembling my pedal bearing assembly for reference, everything is framed properly, everything is lined up and in focus, everything is lit without shadows, and it's all in landscape because that's simply the best fit for anyone's horizontal eyeballs.
Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might
film it in the aspect that the viewers will be watching by default
turn your phone to the side, hope that helps

For like the 1,000th time, we’re not talking about a film. Of course watching something that was filmed in horizontal will look awful when watched vertically, that’s not what we’re talking about.
You have a field of view. Regardless of the shape of your field of view, your phone will take up the same percentage of that field of view whether it is turned vertically or horizontally. In that respect, you lose nothing; simply the things you see in your periphery are moved from the sides to the top and bottom

This makes no sense. Are you talking about your iPad 2 having bad borders? Or are you looking at a landscape oriented photo and turning it vertical? Again, we’re not talking about watching something that was intended to be viewed horizontally and turning it vertically; we’re talking about creating things with the intention of viewing them vertically
If I'm taking pictures of me disassembling my pedal bearing assembly for reference, everything is framed properly, everything is lined up and in focus, everything is lit without shadows, and it's all in landscape because that's simply the best fit for anyone's horizontal eyeballs.
And that’s just you. You put it in landscape because YOU are more likely to view it in landscape on your desktop. Someone intentionally creating content to be viewed on a phone, which is far more common than desktop viewing, will obviously frame it correctly to be viewed on a phone
turn your phone to the side, hope that helps
I don’t think I need to define the word default, do I?
Are you looking at a landscape oriented photo and turning it vertical?
I'm looking at what the live camera feed is seeing, it gets narrower when it's vertically aligned
And that’s just you. You put it in landscape because YOU are more likely to view it in landscape on your desktop. Someone intentionally creating content to be viewed on a phone
No, that's just the optimum format for humans. and no I don't go and view it on a desktop, I look at it on my phone, but I turn the camera sideways. Otherwise I'd be squinting at a square postage stamp with wasted space at the sides
Why would anyone record anything in a non optimal format, just to save themselves the effort of turning a phone 90deg?
Some vertical formats actually make sense, like viewing a PDF on a vertical monitor, or writing code, and maybe a data logger or event log and I've actually run out of ideas here? essentially nothing else is better viewed in a vertical orientation and films are at the bottom of that list of possibilities
