Large screen specific vs Mobile use

   When looking at different types of video / trailers they are often created differently depending on their purposes. Something like a film trailer will have different camera angels and shots as well as quality compared to videos in which are intended to be watched on mobile phones. Sizing of the videos completely depends on the use, for example Instagram videos will be more square compared to a trailer which intentions are to be shown in the cinema and on larger TV screens.


       


I have chosen two very different videos that show the different types of angels, quality and intentions, the first example which is above is from Joe Sugg's Youtube channel 'ThatcherJoe', and the second example I decided to use is the trailer for The Walking Dead Season 6, which is shown on Fox.
    The first video is more of a vlog style which is recorded on a small handheld canon camera, and although the quality is 1080p the video is not stabilised and the motion is rough. When watching these specific videos on a mobile device the video automatically goes to horizontal orientation but can be changed, which is what these types of videos are specifically intended for.


        




When comparing Joe Sugg's vlogs to something like a film or TV series trailer there are little similarities. The Walking Dead Season 6 trailer is filmed using multiple pieces of footage in a dramatic way to build tension and emotions, trailers have an aim and are perfectly sequenced and timed out, comparing something like this to a vlog is interesting because in the majority on vlogs, the footage is not planned, whereas in trailers the cameras have specific marks and points to hit, as do the people featuring in the film.
