Six Trends and What They Mean
| Trend | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Vertical-first shooting | Frame for 9:16 from the start, not as a crop afterthought |
| AI-assisted post | Faster transcripts, rough cuts, and clean-up; human judgement still decides |
| Virtual production | LED walls and real-time engines replace some location travel |
| Creator-led brand content | Brands partner with creators for authenticity |
| Captions by default | Many viewers watch muted; captions are expected |
| Modular campaign shoots | One shoot day produces dozens of cut-downs |
