Videography Techniques Using Phone
If you want people to be able to watch your video at full size on a monitor or TV screen, keep your smartphone horizontal when you are recording. Shooting a video clip with your phone upright doesn't seem like an issue at the time because you're watching it on a device with a vertical screen, but as soon as you want to play the video anywhere else, your clip will be fighting for space with two black bars on either side of the screen.
So in the quest to shoot better video on your phone, start by keeping with standard video practise and shoot horizontally.
2. Keep it smooth and steady
Your smartphone is small and light, but it can be held surprisingly steady. The key thing is to use both hands, and lock your elbows into your body for extra stability. Try it yourself, and you'll see that although this won't eliminate the small involuntary movements (or shaky hands!), at least these won't put the viewer off like the sudden jolts you sometimes get from holding your phone one-handed.
But what if you want to introduce some controlled movement into a shot? With your elbows locked into your body, use your feet as a solid base and move the whole of your upper body, not just the camera. This will result in a smoother motion every time.
3. Techniques Tilt up and down
This technique is only used if the object is so large and tall that you all want to see it completely. You all have to be careful because movement requires great technique on its own. Find you all do not master the important parts, your footage will all be blurry and not as you want
That's all from me. Hope you use one of these techniques in the future :)
