I don't think that the input video contains black spaces. The input 
video is 1920x1080 and it has "rotate=90" set in the metadata. That's 
why FFmpeg rotates the video and the output is 1080x1920 and there are 
no black spaces in the output.
If you don't like this output, what do you want instead? Do you want to 
cut off the top and botton part? Then you must use the crop filter.
