Abstract
As the number of short video users continues to grow, China is embracing the "mobile vertical screen era." To satisfy users' demands for a quicker immersive experience, major platforms are adopting a vertical screen format for micro-movies and videos, particularly given the maturity of the fragmented online context, initiatives for aging media adaptation, and the trend towards younger internet users. These factors provide a prime opportunity for the development of vertical screen video formats. Many short video platforms have begun experimenting with vertical documentaries. This paper takes the vertical documentary "Talking to Strangers" as a case study to discuss its strengths and weaknesses in conjunction with the future development of vertical screen documentaries. In today's era of fragmentation, where various types of work are emerging, how to make vertical screen documentaries into refined classics is a question worth considering and discussing deeply.
