Making a Smartphone Movie



Making movies is awesome. Maybe you have already made one. When starting out however, you might consider using your phone. The cameras on smartphones are unbelievably powerful. A lot of phones are starting to have 4k on them! Some films have been nominated for awards. Take the film Olive. This movie was shot completely on a smartphone in 2011 and was actually done pretty well. Again, this is back in 2011 where phones were not as advanced as they are now. Take a look at the trailer for the Olive movie.


So basically the camera is not really the biggest part of film making. As I have stated in my previous blog post, smartphone film making is great for beginners. You can find many apps to help you make your movie come to life. However, smartphone film making is also good for professionals. What really matters is what is going on in front of and behind the camera. That's where a video creator's energy should be. Camera angles, placement, resolution, and focus are important, but the camera is not everything.
