I don't think it was that difficult for the manufacturers of mobile phones write a message in the device screen asking if the phone is vertical or horizontal before recording a video or taking a picture. And is that the vertical videos They are one of the biggest frustrations when you get home and pass the recording to an editing program like the one in the image and you realize that what has been captured is practically useless.
In the video below, linked by Enrique Gato on his Twitter account, you can see a recording that had wide dissemination through social networks a few months ago. This version is in Spanish and demonstrates the little use of recording vertically and especially lists the amount of negative impacts that massive mass generalization of this type of recordings would have on our lives. The video explains that there are two types of people suffering from SVV (vertical video syndrome), those who think they are doing something like a photo and then can rotate it and those who care very little about what is being recorded. The two profiles are very dangerous and the consequences of their actions are suffered by all.
Surely when we have reviewed many of the recordings we have made these past holidays and vacations we have realized the amount of documents we have made while maintaining the upright phone. I hope we all take note and remember to rotate the device 90º.
Of course this applies to the most phones or smartphones, in which, accustomed to take them for the use they have, which is to be phones, we forget to turn them to make the recording. It would be good know what are the good practices that readers use to avoid this unpleasant effect that makes recording almost useless.
