"Our computer screens and trips to movie theaters have biased our eyeballs. When we think of video, our first thought most likely includes films snuggled safely into the 16:9 or 4:3 format....LIKE THIS
4:3 (similar to older, square televisions)
16:9 (like most modern TV sets)
But that's not the only way! Turn a camera sideways and you've got a whole new world of compositional possibilities. Not convinced? Check out Jesse Rosten's beautiful video, Beach Verticals: vimeo.com/10453905
Today you to should forget tradition and flip your camera 90°! But don't let this rotation change your aesthetic sensibilities, if you need a little inspiration, head over to the Tallscreen Channel: vimeo.com/groups/tallscreen
The restrictions are as follows: Your video must be a vertical and made of static shots (i.e. with a tripod).
Think of it as a photograph that moves and use this opportunity to capture something subtle, like the slight movement of leaves in the wind, or the hint of a smile on a friends face"
Working in pairs, you are to make 3 videos (each 30 seconds-1 minute long):
1. Nature
2. People
3. Architecture
