At that time there was a heavy influence of horizontal video because, for decades, that was how you viewed not only media on television, but also\u00a0<em>naturally.<\/em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.webopedia.com\/TERM\/L\/landscape.html#:~:text=By%20%2D%20Webopedia%20Staff,generating%20text%20in%20landscape%20mode\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0The human eye sees\u00a0landscape orientation<\/a>. So, in 2010 the majority of influencers came out against vertical videos. No one thought it was a good idea to flip a DSLR to the side when filming. However, it\u2019s known and natural to hold a smartphone vertically.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2011,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapchat.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Snapchat waltzed in and completely changed the game<\/a>. By sending short clips of talking heads, day-to-day activities, concerts, and events on a platform that did not support horizontal video, vertical video relished in its ability to fill a phone screen.\u00a0<em>And it wasn\u2019t going anywhere<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Snapchat\u2019s success drove Facebook and Instagram Stories to fruition. Content that only existed for 24 hours became something that encouraged people to constantly check what their friends and family were up to. As the ratio of social media consumption rose in the direction of the smartphone and less on television and computer, so did the acceptance of viewing videos vertically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"270\" height=\"480\" data-src=\"https:\/\/jpixx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-3.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13842 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 270px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 270\/480;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"270\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/jpixx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-3.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13842\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A vertical video on Instagram is 187% more likely to have an engagement for over 50% of the total playtime of the videos.\u00a0So we are left to shift our gears to make sure that our clients are getting the most engaging content for their demographic.\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.accesscollege.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Access College Foundation connects Hampton Roads students with scholarships<\/a>, and over the summer, we met these high school students at their level by presenting this event virtually via Instagram Stories. Students submitted their own videos showing off their new college gear, and we helped Access create content to be shown in a way that they never have for this event\u2013vertically. When we proposed displaying this event vertically, Access was a bit apprehensive to make the switch from the traditional horizontal format, and one that integrated lots of IG Story features. But we worked to meet Access in the middle with how it would work and why it would be effective. We were in touch with the students and donors weeks ahead of the event to gather content, and the entire \u201crun of show\u201d was planned out on the back end. In the end, we engaged students in the event where they were the ones being celebrated.\u00a0Prior to the event, Access acquired 200+ followers by promoting the event itself. It also allowed for more open interaction between Access and its audience of 500+ who were in attendance for the Instagram event! Now that\u2019s something to walk for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"270\" height=\"480\" data-src=\"https:\/\/jpixx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-2.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13843 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 270px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 270\/480;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"270\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/jpixx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-2.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13843\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of all the media Facebook allows in a post, video content counts for 59% more engagement than any other medium.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/buffer.com\/resources\/vertical-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">In a recent study conducted by\u00a0Buffer<\/a>,\u00a0they found that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jpixxfilms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jpixx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0now favor vertical advertisements over landscape and still, and for good reason. The phone screen is not created to comfortably hold horizontally,\u00a0and a smaller video that doesn\u2019t fill a screen tends to get overlooked and swiped by. Vertical video just\u2026\u00a0<em>looks nice on a vertical screen.\u00a0<\/em>When the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/rocsolidfoundation.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Roc Solid\u00a0Foundation<\/a>\u00a0came to us to edit a video, fit for social media, that would market their\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/rocsolidfoundation.org\/rod\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">On Demand program<\/a>, we wanted to make sure that they would get the best looking video. As the provided clips were mostly vertical, we pushed for a vertical advertisement, and with a solid first cut, the first Jpixx vertical ad edit was born! As Facebook now offers vertical videos cheaper to promote than horizontal videos, they are able expand the reach of the content even further and gain from potential donations from across the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Click on this photo to view video!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Roc Solid On Demand - Oct. 2020\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WTFYZRnoffI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no other way to put it;\u00a0<strong>it\u2019s time to go vertical<\/strong><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey all!
