The first thing to consider before recording your video is the orientation. The orientation of the video will change depending on the way you hold the device.Holding the device vertically will create a Portrait view. Holding the device horizontally will create a Landscape view. The way you hold the device will change the way the video appears when shared. Think about what you are filming and which orientation would be best to capture your scene. For example if you are filming one basketball player demonstrating a dribbling technique it might be best to use a Portrait view to focus in on the details and one person. If you were trying to capture an entire basketball court a Landscape view might be a better option to capture the more area.
