Horizontal or vertical video: the right format depends on where, and by whom, it will be watched

Choosing a video format, horizontal or vertical, is more than a technical detail: it changes the framing, the way we shoot and the viewer's experience. At NewVisibility, a video production agency in Cantù, in the province of Como, we decide the format with you from the planning stage, starting from the channels where your video needs to perform.

Mobile first

When to choose vertical video

Vertical video is made for smartphones: it fills the whole screen and can be watched without turning the phone. It is the natural choice for:

  • reels, stories and TikTok, where people scroll fast;
  • short, direct content designed to grab attention in the very first moments;
  • behind-the-scenes and spontaneous content that shows your company from the inside.

Vertical framing calls for a different composition: tighter shots, carefully placed on-screen text and a faster editing pace.

The classic format

When to choose horizontal video

Horizontal video is still the go-to format for storytelling and large screens. It works best for:

  • corporate and company videos for your website;
  • screens at trade fairs, showrooms and presentations;
  • interviews, production process and product videos, where you need room for spaces and details.

A wide frame lets us show the context, move the camera with cranes, sliders and gimbals, and give your video a more cinematic feel.

One project, several formats

The right format for every channel

Often the best answer is not to choose at all: we plan the shoot to deliver both a horizontal and a vertical version, so every piece of content can work across all your channels, also for the companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano that we follow from Cantù.

Video subtitles make the message understandable even without audio, as often happens on social media, and make content more accessible. We handle them in the edit, with a style consistent with your brand, for the companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano that we follow from Cantù.

In online advertising campaigns, video works when it is designed for the channel: an immediate hook, formats suited to each placement, subtitles and several variants to compare. We produce videos in Cantù for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano, in step with social campaigns.

The first seconds of a social video are designed with an immediate hook: a strong image, a question or a preview of the result, with on-screen text readable without audio. In Cantù, in the province of Como, we design the opening together with the edit, for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano.

The music for a business video is chosen according to the brand's tone, the pace of the edit and the channel, leaving room for the voice. From our studio in Cantù we handle audio and post-production for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano, with tracks suitable for commercial use.

To get more from your video investment, formats and channels are planned from the start, creating versions for your website, social media, newsletters and trade fairs from the same footage. NewVisibility, from Cantù, sets up the reuse plan with companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano.
