The Inevitable Move To Vertical Video In Movie Making

[Steedeel]

These days, more and more youngsters are shooting and watching in square (with space for messaging) or vertical (taking up the entire length of their smartphone). What started as a lazy habit is fast becoming the only way to shoot social media videos. So much so, that Youtube have integrated this shooting style and now have full screen vertical videos. Snapchat and Instragram dominate the vertical video scene. The industry always chases the young demographic and that demographic is growing up watching vertical videos. It’s only a matter of time before Hollywood chases the young audiences (and the money) by making vertical films and tv content. It’s going to happen, it’s a stick on. Then, what happens to the TV set? Maybe Steedeel is right, there wouldn’t be any need for TV sets or cinema if vertical content wins out.

I promise you, right now, a major studio will shoot a vertical film within the next 10 years. It will be shot with the phone in mind.
