Abstract
The videos made through mobile phones are probably changing the way we think of videos created to tell or show something, both imaginary tales or private movies, or even chronicles of events to spread rapidly through the web. A change has already occurred in the use, as the new digital portable devices allowed to concentrate on a single medium a variety of media with various functions. Therefore, a tool like the telephone has been enhanced with new features typically designed for other media.In this process of appropriation, new mobile devices changed the way these new features are being used, due, of course, to new conditions. Other than multiplying the production of images that one would call dirty due to the presence of rough movements, continuous zoom in and zoom out and, of course, broadcast sub-standard video quality, the new tools introduced the practice of vertical shooting, so inducing a habit.In the history of photography, however, the two formats, landscape and portrait, have always lived together. This paper aims to analyze, briefly, a situation in rapid and continuous evolution, also characterized by the presence of new paradigms responding to visual aesthetic rules that are gradually being defined.
Highlights
The videos made through mobile phones are probably changing the way we think of videos created to tell or show something, both imaginary tales or private movies, or even chronicles of events to spread rapidly through the web
The main effect of the massive use of mobile devices, and one that will likely have the most long-term consequences, is perhaps what concerns the use of images
The thing that impresses most is to note that, after they have successfully magnified and flipped through photographs using touch technology, these children repeat the same actions even when faced with images printed on paper magazines
Summary
The videos made through mobile phones are probably changing the way we think of videos created to tell or show something, both imaginary tales or private movies, or even chronicles of events to spread rapidly through the web. The thing that impresses most is to note that, after they have successfully magnified and flipped through photographs using touch technology, these children repeat the same actions even when faced with images printed on paper magazines These new devices combine multiple tools into one, facilitating the task of the new prosumer and placing new challenges for manufacturers of photographic and video cameras to overcome these technological multitools. As well as the subject and the general structure, it reproduces its vertical format through the video ratio, is being projected on a vertical screen His connection with the classical art is a constant that, today, can be rendered at its best thanks to the possibility to use high-definition flat screens which, in addition to the extreme slowing of the speed of reproduction, produce a result similar to extremely bright paintings that only through prolonged observation reveal their being moving images. Those who criticize the improper “vertical shooting posture” due to mobile devices, could have the opportunity to add to their disapproval the square format that, taking advantage of a wider “social” spreading than that allowed by video art, should have the opportunity to become viral
