A vertical video is not just a cropped horizontal film. Important faces, products, hands, text and action need to be composed for the phone screen while filming.
Start with the opening second
The first moment should tell the viewer why to keep watching: movement, a clear visual, a useful line, a result or a detail worth noticing.
Keep the subject readable
Vertical framing has less horizontal space. Keep the important subject clear, avoid crowded compositions and plan movement that does not lose the point of the shot.
Use captions with intent
Captions can help, but they should not cover faces or important product detail. If text is needed, it should be planned with safe space in mind.
Capture versions, not leftovers
If the campaign needs horizontal and vertical edits, film both deliberately. It is usually more useful than trying to crop every shot later.

This project shows how vertical event content can feel complete rather than cropped.
