The quality of iPhone video footage is really impressive, especially if you know the right settings, techniques, and extra gear to use to make it as good as possible. So, stop stressing about buying a new camera, and first use what you already have to the best extent that you can. I'm going to show you how! 🔗 links I mentioned in the video: EUCOS iPhone Tripod: https://geni.us/ksphonepod DJI Mic 2: https://geni.us/ksdji2 though I also recommend the DJI Mini Mic (which came out after I filmed this) a smaller, cheaper alternative: https://geni.us/djimicmini Godox LDP18 Bi Light: https://geni.us/mWWu 📕 TABLE OF CONTENTS 📕 0:00 Filming with your iPhone 0:29 Settings to change on your iPhone 1:15 Tips for using natural lighting 2:46 Consider using artificial lighting 4:29 Improve the composition of your shot 5:13 Setting up a symmetrical shot 5:48 Using the rule of thirds 6:23 Add more visuals 7:41 Film with the back camera 8:25 Using an Apple Watch or MacBook as a monitor for your iPhone 10:17 Using a Tripod with your iPhone 10:44 Using a Microphone with your iPhone 11:35 Light Panel recommendations 12:00 Clean your iPhone lens 12:24 How to transfer iPhone clips to your computer 13:09 Get a battery bank to extend your iPhone's battery life 13:38 How to learn to edit iPhone footage Wanna work with me?
