Week 4: IPhone Camera Research

How to shoot Cinematic Videos on your Phone

    In this video, you learn how to adjust your phone settings to improve color filtration and control exposure, either manually or automatically. It explains how to move your phone properly while filming, including how to frame your subject while in motion and the different types of camera movements you can use. You also learn how to adjust lighting within your phone settings and how composition affects your shot and the overall look of your scene. The video teaches different types of transitions and explains how to clearly portray your theme throughout your story or movie.

    This video helped me better understand how my phone works and how to fix common filming problems. It showed me how to improve my shots by adjusting lighting and exposure. I used lighting in my film to show the power difference between my protagonist and antagonist. When the power shifted between the characters, it was shown through changes in lighting.

    The less powerful character was usually filmed with dimmer lighting, more shadows on their face, and a brighter background compared to the foreground. This made them appear weaker and less in control. In contrast, the more powerful character had full lighting on their face, with lighting used to highlight their angry or intense expression. The background was dimmer so the focus stayed on them, making them appear stronger and more dominant.
