How to get CINEMATIC FOOTAGE on an IPHONE

[@JevenDovey]

What type of filmmaking videos do you want to see more of?

[@clearbluesky2009]

I would like to learn more about finding or creating music for videos.

[@vzy4atif]

use of light in the footage

[@RonaldBrown59]

Mixing drone and iPhone video together and editing them in a way that it all looks like the same device.

[@JevenDovey]

Here's a video I already did on the subject kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4nTp5ymp86fbrc

[@RonaldBrown59]

WanderWorx Thanks.

[@eagle6212]

I’ve been a professional photographer for 51 years but just now getting into cinematic video. Jeven, I find your content the best a “newbie” can learn from. Great job brother, I look forward to seeing more👍

One of the most straight forward, compact and helpful videos i have ever seen on vlogging, iPhone / mobile videography

[@MissVindicat]

Oh, wow, I love this. I’ve been making ASMR whisper videos for years but I’ve never focused on the video. I debated buying a new camera but I don’t have that much money right now. I felt bad about it but you’ve inspired me to get the most out of my iPhone. There is clearly a world to win! Thanks!

[@JevenDovey]

Awesome! You can do a ton with your iphone so use that and make some awesome content

[@MissVindicat]

I will! Actually, I already did! Thinking about filming and settings made me come up with the idea to film my city slowly getting darker at night. I added some whispering for relaxation and people love it! Thank you! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHK8mmRpZa5rl8k

[@TheGeekMonster]

These are great tips, but I'd like to see a more detailed "how to". Like *how* do you actually *do* all these things, for someone who's new to photography?

[@larryau3138]

I sure wish my favorite KZbin teachers would stop the background music when the are speaking. Music is great and it fills up the spaces with no dialog; the trouble is when you are trying to concentrate and the pure gold advice. It does seem that I am the only that mentions this, but I think others might feel the same way.

[@avantgardenovelist]

The M83-like song from 04:45 to 08:20 made me so nostalgic I didn't pay attention to what he was saying. Beautiful song.

[@rajarshivk]

Brett Robbins please tell me this song link i didn't find this song in KZbin

[@Reallyahmed]

SAME I WANT THE SONG NAME

[@kpag3030]

Brett Robbins yes. I love generic KZbin video music too.

[@daynagabriel3046]

“M83-like”, I thought same thing. Lost track of what was being said too lol!

[@jwestney2859]

Helping people to open their mind. And to express themselves. Using the camera (phone) that they already have. 🙂 THANK YOU!

[@mondujar279]

One of my personal tips for myself only is to shoot when alone. If I am with someone else I tend to be distracted and forget about what I’m trying to do!

[@italia45godfather]

I dont know who else feels this way but ive always thought its not so much the equipment you use its how you use it. I have a canon DSLR and its a great camera but i dont bring it everywhere. I have a handycam camera to film whatever yet on my phone i can do all of that. Beautiful stunning photos and filming can be achieved through any gear you use. In my opinion.

[@dominic_tang]

As we come to an end in 2019 and vertical video is the new trend. Questions: Can you make cinematic videos in a vertical format? How would you frame it and what is needed to tell a good story?

[@SpatulaDiGiorgio]

You are so helpful I come from Greece and I wish you the best

[@LinetteArroyo]

Omg the second one looked amazing! I film all of my KZbin videos on my phone, so I’m definitely using these tips! ☺️

[@droneuk]

people dont realize how good a smart phone is now and dont need a big fancy Digital SLR on a gimbal to be a KZbinr :)

[@rakn752]

Your comment motivates me. I have some vids that I'd like to do but I am a little technically challenged so I am trying to learn everything I can because I want to really be able to use my videos on social media. Do you have any advice for someone just starting out as far as audio goes. I am extremely nervous about ending up with great content but horrible sound?

[@markenentertainment]

about for your youtube did you record by your phone and use that app or did u use the camera? your background effect looks awesome what kind of effects did you use?

[@vanessashaw6912]

Being from an older generation this stuff is especially challenging fir me but THIS I get. AWESOME information. Thanks!

[@RVkidzTV]

Just purchased a Mobile Gimbal! Thanks for all the tips!

[@bnjmae]

Good video.. and I like the fact your not trying to be funny, wacky just presenting good information thats easy to follow and understand

[@WalkingDrivingFlyingLasVegas]

What a difference! GREAT common sense advice. Using these techniques is what makes filmmaking exciting and creative! Thank you! By the way: Ignore the negative comments from the self-appointed critics. Believe me, I'm as observant and picky as they come. I didn't notice anything distracting about your music, verbage or anything else. Keep up the good work...your numbers speak volumes!

[@philandthai]

That pretty much says it all in minutes. Short and sweet is so refreshing. No verbiage.

[@luckyboypictures]

Love your B rolls, and the way you establish each shot. First shooting with a wide or an extreme close up shot, You know your stuff. Did you go to film school? Establishing a shot, is the most important aspect of any production and you did it well.

[@tiaran83]

This is better than all the videos I watched combined

[@roxanas680]

Thank you! I am a new KZbinr and this is very helpful to me.

[@glenwoodfin]

Excellent tips to bring a beginner to the next level. I heard a movie came out commercially that used the iPhone for all their filming, so this is a great place to start.

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

Thank you for posting this video. Definitely appreciated seeing the difference between average iphone footage and then footage shot on manual in conjunction with a few applications. Great tips, will try a few of them out.

[@alyshalight9762]

Very helpful. And this is super random and kinda crazy, but I lived in this same building in SM.

[@mnjdaddaughtergamers7996]

thank you for posting this! The biggest eye opener was about shooting from different camera angles. you the man!

[@VentureAHighway]

*thank you for these tips. I'm definitely guilty of the first type of filming so I'l be more aware of it.*

[@KingArtexerxes]

This reminds me of the gardening videos where it’s time to cover up what they just planted, then (off camera) they put the camera in the hole and then (on camera) start putting dirt in it.

[@PhotoGearFun]

Very good video thanks for the tips. Just a note, I felt the background music was a bit too loud it was hard to focus on your dialog at times.

[@JevenDovey]

Thanks for the feedback. I stopped using background music on my new tutorials because of this. Any of my new videos won't have this problem

[@PhotoGearFun]

Great I just realized this was from Dec of 2017. Keep up the great work!

[@DiamondDsDees]

I'm proud to be part of KZbin and if I wasn't part of KZbin I don't think I would get this kind of information you give out the information that I really need I really need it to feel that I can make movies with my Galaxy a 20 so when I see these things I'll be thinking as I'm looking at your program I'm just the wheels are just turning in my mind is just thinking of ways to actually make a really nice film and those things that you talk about a beautiful and Their Blessings thank you for doing your show many blessings God bless

[@programmingchicago]

I would like to see someone do something on a lawnmower or snowblower. Basic things most homeowners have, but that would be kind of fun.

[@davidfrancis8899]

Great instruction, but i hate the background music, it doesn’t need the music, and makes me think you need some instruct in the usage of background music.

[@shanecammell]

Too much verbiage? Click on the cog symbol and change the speed to 2x then switch on subtitles and turn off volume :)

[@WalkingDrivingFlyingLasVegas]

"Instruction"? Seriously! Jeven currently has 371,000 subscribers and this video alone 727,000 views. How are your numbers Mr. Critic? Laughable arrogance! (smh) "It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena." ~~ Teddy Roosevelt

[@judichristopher4604]

I love this video... Great job... ... but please note, that the background music, even though it was good music, was a little too loud and was distracting. I just want to hear what YOU have to say... because I believe in your video. Thank you for sharing this... ... and YES I do believe this, because the last film I was in... the Continuity Girl used an IPhone and got great coverage... That is when I was hooked on IPhones. I teach Acting for Film and Stage.

[@lifeministries6360]

Not sure why anyone would not like these tips giving it a thumbs down. Great tips easily explained and great comparisons. Thanks man this helps a lot you are pro.

[@oakstreetpv]

What you are calling "depth of field" is actually shallow depth of field. Depth of field is just the measure of what is in focus form near to far. You can have a very shallow depth of field or a nearly infinite depth of field, but the term "depth of field" by itself doesn't specify any specific amount of DOF.

[@smallbizdigitalmedia]

Very inspiring. I love the before and after clips

[@TV-FilmCameramanUK]

So you crushed the blacks taking the detail out of any dark areas... Good Job. Top work. :/

[@JevenDovey]

Sometimes you don't need details in the dark areas. I'm just showing samples of one style of color editing. You might want to do something different

[@giraffevideoproduction8045]

I completely agree w/ all your tips. You mentioned issues that most people don't even understand. And I'm glad you did, because it only emphasizes that to look professional, a business person should hire a video professional like you. Or they could hire me, wink wink. I think more videos like this one are needed. This is a quality video. You obviously thought about how to shoot a good video, how to make it look and sound good. I like that simple lighting in the bkgd. (Yet another factor people don't consider.) The only things I'd add are 1) lighting/exposure issues while shooting; and, 2) the fact that LUTs shouldn't be the end-all to make videos look good. LUTs are nice, I've used them and still use them on occasion, but it's often so much better if you know how to manually color grade.

[@kavoncoates4474]

Great Tips! Watching this in May of 2021

[@StanCook]

Good stuff. It just drives me crazy to see people shooting video in portrait. I nicely try to tell them to think about the screen that people will be looking at their video on. It's not vertical, its horizontal. But still, it happens. You touched on it here and that is good. Thanks for all you and Rachal do.

[@JevenDovey]

I could probably do another video on this topic and cover a bunch of other tips. The vertical thing is a bummer because it looks so uncinematic but our clients are now asking us to shoot vertical for some of our projects now. I think there’s gonna be more and more of this content coming out. Gonna have to find new ways to make vertical videos cinematic and new tricks to really make it look good.

[@StanCook]

I don't get it. I just ask them if there is some kind of screen that show video in the vertical? I also mention to them that, to me, portrait mode is just for stills and a portrait which is really just a vertical photo. Other wise all video is shown on 9x16 type screens.

[@PhilipSwart]

Agree, when last did you go to the cinema and watched a movie in portrait

[@WWPTV]

I agree. Facebook and KZbin are now going to Vertical videos. For people who shoot that way, it makes sense. I still prefer thinking about how I see it naturally; blur on the sides and action in the middle.

[@RoastChestnut]

Instagram videos are viewed in portrait.

WOW.... One of THE best videos I've watched. So much passion in your work and it shows. LOVED the concepts and ideas - learned SO much more from your video (compared to so many of the "look how awesome my equipment and setup is" type videos.. Even your music (which was subtle, but so effective - really wasn't aware it was there until I sat back and took a closer look). Thank you Jeven!!!

[@olliedavis7737]

Good tips on how to position cam but the motion in the movement of the camera seems like it’s on a slider not handheld! Tripods and other stabilisers May have been used but don’t quote me

[@trcchampschapel297]

Very insightful! We will def use this when shooting videos for our church.

[@LittleMartianxx]

Great advice! Best of all it didn't cost me anything! I've been filming for years with Arris and Eclair and DSLR and all those heavy things and the cellphone seemed to me soooo ackward that I din't even use it for selfies. I'm rediscovering lightweight digital devices like the GoPro and my smartphone but an important thing you mentioned is SUPPORTS. I'm gettting a good gimbal

[@StefanWoldekidanKunskapsskolan]

Great tips. Being a musician I must say that the background music is more a soundwall that takes fokus from your tutorial than necessary. Great music but I think I lower volume would make the experience better. Other than that super tips!

Thanks for all the helpful information. Question. You mentioned gimbals. Have you found a gimbal that works well with iPhone 12 and higher. The image stabilizer feature in the new iPhones seems to create a “stutter” in the video footage once it’s on the gimbals. Thanks for input.

Hi Jeven , I have seen so many videos on how to achieve a cinematic look on iPhone using filmic pro... however I tried a lot ... with different setting using vlog , 24 frames/sec and in different daylight’s .. etc etc ...I have used gimbals to achieve a smooth navigation ... but practically it’s so difficult to achieve such a feat ..to get cinematic look... it’s not even closer ...when I take it to editing ...! Could you please make a video comparing a real scene from a movie and recreate it with an iPhone using filmic pro?

yes, looked more 'cinematic'. but i liked a few shots in the first, especially seeing the sun on his face at the end. the balcony shot was dull.
