I'm looking at my desk now, I have ~180deg horizontal vision and about 130deg vertical vision, sounds like widescreen to me?
Filming a random event in life is not cinematography
filming is telling a story, therefore it should be done using the most realistic format - landscape. And filming a UFO definitely deserves a bit more attention than this duffer was able to manage
it's called portrait for a reason, it's just for faces, it's only ever used by heathens, because they have nothing important to say other than grinning at each other whilst wearing cat ears....

Do you watch movies with your peripheral vision? When is the last time a vertically filmed video went outside of your vertical range of view? Long story short: your eyes focus on one point and you’re not losing anything visually if a video is shown vertically or horizontally
And filming a UFO definitely deserves a bit more attention than this duffer was able to manage
Really? Would this video have changed your experience at all if you had an extra 2,000 pixels of empty blue sky to the right and left of the ufo rather than to the top and bottom? Makes no difference, you’re just mad that it’s smaller on your monitor than it would be if it was filmed in landscape
it's called portrait for a reason, it's just for faces
Retarded. “It’s called landscape for a reason, it’s just for mountain ranges and trees.” It makes the most sense to film in the aspect that the viewer will be watching it in. And for these random videos, that’s vertical, not horizontal
Do you watch movies with your peripheral vision?
everyone does? That's why cinemas have an aspect ratio of 2.39:1 and not a phones 9:16
When is the last time a vertically filmed video went outside of your vertical range of view?
again, you still think you are only watching what you are focusing on, you are wrong, your ancestors would all have been eaten by bears while you were taking a pee if this were the case
Would this video have changed your experience at all if you had an extra 2,000 pixels of empty blue sky to the right and left of the ufo
yes, because I was trying to work out if it was the UFO moving or if he was just a useless spaz waving his phone around, so I was looking for a stationary cloud or something as a reference
“It’s called landscape for a reason, it’s just for mountain ranges and trees.”
correct, and anything in the foreground. Trees could be portrait though
that's why they gave the modes descriptive names, so artistically challenged people would easily know which one was more appealing, congrats on being the unexpected fail case I guess?

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, 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
