Five Tips for Shooting Better Smartphone Videos


Stability is the key One of the most common issues with smartphone videos is shaky footage. To improve stability, hold your phone with both hands and keep your elbows close to your body. Consider using a smartphone tripod or stabilizer for even smoother shots.

  1. Pay attention to Lighting It can make a significant difference in the quality of your videos. Whenever possible, shoot in well-lit environments or utilize natural light sources like windows. Avoid harsh overhead lighting or strong backlighting, which can cause exposure issues or silhouetting.

  2. Optimize focus and exposure: Smartphones generally have auto-focus and auto-exposure features, but they may not always work perfectly. Ensure your subject is in focus by tapping on the screen where you want to set the focus point.

  3. Use proper framing and composition: Pay attention to the composition of your shots to make them visually appealing. Apply the rule of thirds by imagining a grid on your screen and positioning your subject along the intersecting lines or at their intersections.

  4. Experiment with different angles and perspectives: Smartphone cameras are versatile, allowing you to capture shots from various angles and perspectives. Get creative and try shooting from low angles, high angles, or even experimenting with different camera apps and features.

Remember, practice makes perfect. Keep experimenting, exploring your smartphone's camera settings, and refining your shooting techniques to continue improving the quality of your videos.
