Framing the Future: A Comparative Study of Landscape and Portrait Modes in Video Recording and Audience Engagement in Bayan College, Oman

Abstract

This research paper explores the influence of video aspect ratios on audience engagement among students of Bayan College, Oman. With the growing consumption of mobile-first content and the surge in short-form videos, the study investigates how landscape (16:9) and portrait (9:16) formats perform regarding viewer retention, interaction, and preference. The findings offer actionable insights for content creators and media professionals in Oman by combining quantitative survey responses and Instagram engagement metrics. This study significantly shows that portrait (9:16) videos outperform landscape (16:9) videos in terms of audience engagement, especially for short-form content on mobile platforms.
