Shooting videos on your iPhone is so easy these days that it's tempting to be a bit blasé about it. But with a little know-how, some video editing skills, and additional third-party film-making accessories, you can turn ordinary clips of your pets, friends and holidays into a mini-movie masterpiece. This guide will show you how!
We'll explain how to set up your iPhone to record footage that suits your movie-making requirements, whether that's capturing 4K clips for sharing as High Definition footage on a widescreen TV, or shooting smaller social media-friendly files that will catch the eye (and elicit 'likes') in your Instagram or X/ Twitter) feed.
We'll recommend which iPhone movie formats will give you more control when adjusting colours and tones in the edit, and we'll suggest third-party gadgets, such as wireless mics and LED lights that will elevate your movie making to a more pro level.
We'll explain which Camera app shooting modes can capture gimbal smooth action without needing a gimbal, plus show you how to add a Hollywood style bokeh (blur) to a clip's background using the Cinematic mode (and even pull focus from foreground to background subjects like a pro camera operator). We'll also demonstrate a variety of video editing techniques that will give your content a more professional look that will impress family, friends and followers alike.
