Talking about iPhone feature filmmaking

IPHONE FILMMAKING NOTES

The pros and cons of iPhone filmmaking have changed during the past few years. Once the discussion centered around whether or not a smartphone could produce images to match those of DSLR cameras and higher quality film cameras. Once the iPhone 7 plus arrived that argument began to fade and was replaced by the discussions of support equipment like tripods, microphones, and add-on lenses.

I would argue that with the addition of less than a thousand dollars worth of equipment you could put together everything required to shoot a feature-length movie. A movie that could be shown side by side with movies that are shown in your local movie theater.

The only major challenge that iPhone filmmakers will face is how quickly can they learn the rules of shooting a film. The basics of blocking a scene. The need to record quality audio and understand the importance of lighting.

Let’s have a look at an Academy Award-winning director who decided to shoot using an iPhone for the first time.

Next, we should look at a list of the top ten films shot with the iPhone from shorts to features.

I would have a slightly different list of films but that list was a great starting point. I wish to thank you for visiting this website and for your interest in iPhone filmmaking. The world of filmmaking needs you and your ideas. Thanks to the iPhone something like shooting a feature-length film on a micro-budget is no longer an impossible dream. It is a dream that is now in the palm of your hand.
