− | + | This comic compares selected pros and cons of 3 video "orientations" (also known as angling), one of which is entirely made-up. This comic could have been inspired {{Dubious}} by articles like https://mashable.com/2017/12/28/vertical-video-mainstream-year/#GEK.NgJ74mqR, and https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/video-looks-most-natural-horizontally-but-we-hold-our-phones-vertically/, which comment on how videos are now filmed vertically through smartphones. | |
− | + | From Randall's comments on horizontal vs vertical, it seems that he is in favor of horizontal videos. However, he does love a good [[690|compromise]][[Category:Compromise]], so he suggests "Diagonal Orientation" as a third option to equally dissatisfy both types of user. The issue with this is that diagonal angling fails to fully capture the benefits of either horizontal or vertical angling. | |

− | + | # Not the best at capturing a human's entire body, without also capturing much of their surroundings. | |
− | + | # Potentially uncomfortable for the one making the recording to maintain over a long period of time, as most phones were designed for vertical holding. | |

− | + | Diagonal angling is commonly known as "oblique angle" or "{{w|Dutch angle}}" in cinema and is often used to portray psychological uneasiness or tension in the subject being filmed. | |

− | + | The title text quip about circular video would be a reference to having a demon trapped inside a summoning circle, hence not trusting anything that would be said to you. | |
