Here's how the camera thing works. If you are trying to film ONE thing or person you do portrait mode like Ant did here. If you are trying to film an event that includes multiple people/things happening you do landscape mode. This isn't that difficult.
No you shouldn't. The picture is better in portrait if you are filming one thing. If the shit on the sides doesn't matter you don't needta capture it in frame. Movies are made to be like real life so you are gonna see scenery and the set. If you wanna take a picture of your girlfriend you don't need to see the garbage can six feet to her right. You only use landscape when there is something worth capturing to the sides.
No. That would ruin the movie. The set is part of the movie. A movie is supposed to be like real life. When a movie just wants to capture one thing they zoom in.
But his cat is climbing up and it's easier to use portrait mode with a phone to capture vertical movement than it is to direct the fuckin cat like he has some sort of spots to hit and you know his exact movements because it's scripted like it is in a movie.
Well then don't look at the black parts and watch the video. There is nothing happening off screen that you are missing so it isn't an issue. What are you interested in seeing his curtains? The only time it matters what is going on off camera is if there is actually something going on off camera.
Ok... then don't... but you can still see what is being filmed here so you are missing the point of Ant's whole argument if you think it's "always film in landscape mode so I can see everything off screen." That only applies when there is a giant brawl (or multiple person event) and half the people involved are off the screen because you didn't use landscape mode.

Yeah this is why movie theaters sometimes have vertical screens.
Just kidding, you should always turn it sideways.

That's why all movies flip to portrait if the scene is just about one thing. You're wrong.

Which is what you should do when you want to capture one thing.

Move the camera as the cat moves. There is no time where I should be looking at a two thirds black screen. It makes no sense.
