War insanity aside, it is interesting how you get better war footage from 100 years ago than today because today people film vertically and I swear you can't tell what's happening or the scale of what is going on. Cameras in every pocket, and yet we will have a vertical archive that you can't even use to understand the scale of destruction. Watch "World War II in Colour" videoneat.com/documentaries/14… to get an idea about how war can escalate so quickly. And how human beings can be so obedient and destructive. #tromlive

> Many documentaries of this sort use the footage that people captured actually.

So why are they in landscape then ? What did people use before mobile phones ?

People should know that shooting in landscape is preferred for important things like documentaries. Also I think social medias like instagram and tiktok is what made these vertical videos popular, they could've just rotated the video player and shown landscape videos (like how youtube did it)

Well you may be shocked but people used to use small digital video cameras back in the days hahaha :). I too had those. Plus before 2015 or so people filmed in landscape mode mostly, from what I can tell, even with their phones. Facebook, insatshit, and tiktoks made people look through a fence.
