Today, we're gonna talk about how I frame my vertical videos. See, the most of us, we came from the horizontal video era, and we just had to adapt. I'm not saying that is bad or good, but rather a a necessity. So let's break down how to still achieve cinematic images while filming vertically. Number one. My golden guide is this vertical line right here. We don't have the luxury of using the rule of thirds like when we do filming horizontally, but that's okay. The overall weight of the composition should be centered. Whether it's leading lines, b roll, a two shot of anything, any subject really, it should be balanced to the center. Cut. Okay. So here's a pro tip. When filming yourself talking, you don't always need to be facing forward and better. Turn your body and put your lead eye in the center line. It's a more captivating composition to grab your audience's attention. And some of the most iconic paintings and photographs have proven so. Number two, place things in the front and behind you to give your composition a feeling of depth. The layering of what's out of focus in the foreground and the background will give that sense of depth. Help making your images look more interesting. And lastly, number three, Film what's important above this lower third. Everything below this is dead space. It'll be covered by your username, caption, and subtitle. Well, that's all folks. Hope these tips help and I'll catch you all next time. Peace.
