Getting around with smartphone video! 8 tips for smartphone video
Today I start a new video course with The Why Girl and I just ordered a new iPhone6+ (yay!). Sounds like a great day right? I’m going to learn all about video the coming weeks and since I’m almost one with my smartphone I wanted to share some smartphone video tips.
Since I’m always travelling so much and you can imagine that I don’t always have a professional camera at hand. Last few weeks I tried and tested some things I would like to share with you!
Here are 8 golden rules for smartphone video:
1. Hold your smartphone in landscape mode.
2. Never forget the rule of thirds!
3. Avoid windy places! The sounds of a club or restaurant can give it an extra feeling of being actually there.
4. Try to film in as much light as possible. When filming inside go stand near a lamp!
5. Try to hold your smartphone as stable as you can, hold the camera with two hands! And hold your elbows closer to your body for even more stable shots.
6. Make a combination of wide and close shots.
7. Play with motion! Move the camera slowly by only moving your upper body.
8. Make sure to fill in a title and short description with mention of your blog or company before uploading it to Youtube!
