Gee, I always thought those folks liked a lot of unnecessary info on the top and bottom.
What gets me is the people who are filming tragedy's while intelligent people are actually helping. There was this situation just a few days ago where a seal grabbed a little girls dress from behind and whipped her into the water. The grandpa instantly dives in and saves her, but there's the always present person who instead, whips out a cell phone and continues to film, no doubt thinking "Gee, this could be tragic ... super cool" instead of helping. Grrr, I just hate cell phones in general ...

Hello there,
this might be a good topic for my first post, as I have an astonishing answer:
The reason is a serious problem called "Vertical Video Syndrome", Iīve heard about it on youtube and would like to share the knowledge by providing you the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt9zSfinwFA
So, it took me 9 years since registering and reading the forum regularly until I left a reply... Sorry, Iīm not the most vivid communicator on the internet and in fact itīs my first forum post ever! Maybe itīll be the start of sharing some more thoughts, stories and informations, maybe even more serious ones, who knows.
And thanks to all of you for the valuable information and the polite acquaintance one can experience on the forum!

Sorry William, unless I have to snap a pic instantly, I rotate my camera both ways to see the better composition. And if I don't have time to decide, I will frame a much larger area that I can crop down afterwards. Some of my favorite pictures are in portrait (things I've entered in competitions, things hanging in my husband's office, etc.).
By always going horizontal, you are being as bad as the people who always go vertical.
The terms landscape and portrait come from art because portraits are normally taller and landscapes are usually wider. Photographers follow this standard most of the time, but not always.
Jason, I would try editing it digitally. You may be able to crop , edit, black bar, and stretch the video into something that can then be watched as film.

They are too much of a distraction. I have had numerous instances where Nurses' Aides stop taking care of my Mom due to them. I have to say now whenever we get someone new that I do not care if they play a game on their phone as long as they have finished their work till the end of their shift. Then I have to tell them if its work related or family that's fine as long as they keep it short in duration. I also was in a hit and run accident because the driver was on a cell phone. The world did just fine without them before the technology became available to the masses. Lousy composition when taking a video is mostly because too many people nowadays can't be bothered to make the effort. They are also used to watching terrible low resolution uploads on YouTube.
