When we released our Creative Trends report in early 2017 we included four trends shaping the look and feel of video across industries. Based on Shutterstock search data and expert insights from our video team, these footage trends outline the styles and subjects that will dominate the landscape in the year to come.
The original trends reflect the changing nature of the workplace, technology that transports us, and the need to get away from it all. Immersive tech shows the stylistic transformation of footage as digital elements are incorporated. The rise of the mobile office sees the use of technology in every corner of the world, while wanderlust captures our thirst for adventure and a pivot towards experience-based consumerism. Finally, top view changes the angle to show us how things are made, altering the landscape for instructional videos and more.
But the year isn’t over yet, so we expanded our list to include even more footage trends that are rising in popularity. With video playing a significant role in marketing efforts and shaping a new form of communication, these trends offer insights for connecting with audiences and staying at the forefront of creative content.
Read on to see which trends we added to the list and how they’re being used effectively in the industry.
