Funny Photo-Taking Spoofs

Turn Your Phone Hilariously Reminds People How to Take a Good Picture

— September 3, 2013 — Pop Culture
Turn Your Phone is an extremely funny music video reminding people to always shoot in landscape mode when recording a video on their phone for the sake of people watching. The segment was done by YouTube sensation chescaleigh, along with other must-see Youtube stars Andrew Huang, DailyGrace, Hannah Hart, BethInShow, Soundlyawake and MilesJai.

The background music is TLC’s ‘No Scrubs’ but the lyrics of course are completely different. YouTube sensation chescaleigh sings about how annoying it is when people don’t turn their phones into landscape mode. When people shoot in vertical mode viewers are left to look at black space on either side, that takes away from the video as well as cuts off really funny elements.

As the video continues she and her friends share examples of how recording a dancing baby or someone twerking can be ruined if shot in portrait mode. The catchy tune will definitely stick in your head and you’ll definitely remember to turn your phone before you hit record.
Trend Themes
1. Landscape-mode Awareness - Opportunity to create mobile apps or features that automatically remind users to switch to landscape mode when recording videos.
2. Humorous Social Awareness Campaigns - Opportunity for brands to create humorous campaigns that educate their audiences on social etiquette and rules.
3. User-generated Video Content - Opportunity for social media platforms to create features that automatically adjust vertical videos to landscape for a better viewing experience.
Industry Implications
1. Mobile Technology - Mobile app developers can create tools that prompt users to record in landscape mode to improve video quality.
2. Advertising - Brands can use humor to create social campaigns that educate audiences on proper social etiquette and use it as an opportunity to promote their brand.
3. Social Media - Social media platforms can incorporate features that automatically adjust vertical videos, improving the user experience and overall platform quality.
