Cinematic on iPhone

 

Hello!

While filming, my cameraman made a discovery. Due to a certain scam through a certain Facebook Marketplace, we didn't have the camera we expected to shoot on. Because of this, we had to resort to filming on my 4 year old iPhone 13 on 42% battery. However, (not only saying this to be optimistic), I do think that shooting with a lower quality camera gave our footage a certain look that really added a lot to the visuals. The flash on the phone made the glitter pop more and specifically using the "cinematic" setting captured the movement really well. It added a lot to the rough, messy theme I was already working on, since my protagonist, herself is also on low battery in a way.

Although I would choose to shoot on a camera next time, I think we did really well with what we had. I'm excited to sort all of my clips out while editing and see what I can make with it. For the future, though, I really do like the effect given with "cinematic." The creation of depth throughout the entire picture really immerses you into it and creates a great touch in my project. Thanks for reading!
