2. Widescreen

Differences horizontal & vertical

By using widescreen formats such as 16:9 ratio or horizontal would give your viewer a wider view of your shot. Most of the trends even home videos use this kind of screen ratio. Moreover, you can make this extra visual space work for you. This give chance for the videographer to capture much more content in a single shot, yet not all shootings should be in horizontal. For buildings or something tall, it's recommended to use vertical to show the full view of the building and skyscrapers.
