Saw this and it got me thinking how I'd react. Might just call it in to the coastguard and stay well away.
It works well on mobile phone screens when held normally, portrait mode, full screen. Now you know, no need to fret anymore. Curious, did you watch this on your television set?… use landscape mode, not portrait, i can never understand why people do it …
People film with phones and watch on phones. Portrait is the best mode for that. Ideally square should be used for widespread consumption but certainly not landscape, which looks awful on a phone.The person who took the video should be told to use landscape mode, not portrait, i can never understand why people do it, they should be forced to stand their tv on its end.
I can understand why they do it now, though. Over the last couple of years on my iPhone almost every landscape mode video will no longer play landscape if you turn the phone and even if you full screen as well it’s just blank top, blank bottom and tiny landscape in the middle.The person who took the video should be told to use landscape mode, not portrait, i can never understand why people do it, they should be forced to stand their tv on its end.
No they don't! they film on phones hoping people will view it when posted, the tv news use them and we view them on a laptop, they look terrible with two thick Black stripes either side, it is sheer laziness and lack of knowledge.People film with phones and watch on phones.

Seems strange, i use Android and my cheapo phone will video either way with no problems, i have no idea about iphones, i simply click the rotate screen on my pull down menu and it works..I can understand why they do it now, though.
