VIDEOS FOR SOCIAL MEDIA AND REELS
Helping You and Your Business Create Engaging Vertical and Portrait Style Videos for Social Media Platforms.
What size and aspect ratio is used for videos on different social platforms and why?
16:9 Landscape:
Widescreen is best for viewing your phone sideways. You might do this to enjoy a Netflix movie or longform video on youtube. The wideness is emphasized in these types of videos.
1:1 Square:
This is the "Best of Both Worlds" Aspect Ratio. While still wide, it can also offer to be more viewable while holding your phone upright. If you are trying to do both wide and tall, this is the format for you. This size also leaves plenty of room for your thoughts on a post.
4:5 and 2:3 Portrait/Vertical:
If you would like to do portrait videos for social media, but also leave somewhat of a wideness to the shot. This format is for you. You could also stuff the closed captions below where it doesn't interfere with your video.
9:16 Portrait/Vertical:
This portrait size fills the whole screen. While you can fill the whole screen you have to remember that the bottom and top of the video is usually overlayed with icons and reactions to your post.
Examples of Portrait Videos made for Social Media
Royal Pin Bowling This incredibly engaging social video reel captures the essence of an entire day spent at this entertainment facility. In an instant you can see all the activities at once. Bowling, laser tag, putt-putt, birthday party and having some relaxing drinks with friends.
Tangram Taking the narration from our overview video we produced, I re-worked the footage to attract donors on social media. You can visually see all the impacts an organization like Tangram has on society in one short video. Sometimes, it's hard to describe and incorporate core values into a video, but doing it this way makes it easy for everyone to see. "Remembering Our Reason"
Dr. Cole - Spine Surgeon This is a great example of a baseline social video for a service business. Sometimes it's hard to get people's attention and then retain that attention. Social videos and a good script offers a way to get to the point quickly. This script format starts with a thought "If you have back pain that has lasted more than a few weeks" or "Not all back pain results in surgery". Now, you can introduce yourself and get to some key points while re-framing and showing some B-roll. At the end you have a call to action and a logo. We did 15 of these videos over various topics. You don't always know which one will peak your customers interest.
