Video Trends in 2020 and Beyond
As video consumption habits change each year, we see some video trends ramp up while some others slowly fade away. In this brand new year of 2020 and beyond, some new trends are going to be the customers’ favorites. Those include:
- Vertical videos. Now that Snapchat, Instagram Stories, and IGTV are taking internet users’ experience to new heights, the vertical format is such a winning trend to adapt. The format is more immersive since it plays full-screen video without bothering users to turn their phone sideways.
- 360-degree videos. This trend provides innovative and attention-grabbing videos. Your viewers will be able to see the campaign video from every angle just by swiping or moving their devices. It gives them a whole new viewing-experience.
- Social videos. The massive increase of social media users over the past few years makes the demand for social media videos grow exponentially. Social media users love to watch short, entertaining, and informative videos while they’re scrolling through their feeds.
