Tips for Shooting the Perfect Video
Think of it as a holiday gift from them to you. Professional filmmakers who recently mentored young, aspiring directors in AT&T’s* “Take Your Shot” film competition are sharing techniques that take every day smartphone videos to the next level. The tools are already in your pocket:
Tip #1
Explore the manual settings on your camera phone checking out the exposure, color balance, and focus (Wong Fu Productions). See their short film Luv[sic]
Tip #2
Control your motion. Use tripods, dollies, and other devices to guide your camera with intent (Freddie Wong). See their short film Weight of Love
Tip #3
Record separate audio. Use directional microphones to record sound to your scenes (On set experts). See their short film G&G Adventures
