Ben and Grace are here with smartphone filmmaking comm the best online course That will take your mobile videos to the next level. So like I said, I'm at the open-air frown felt music festival here in Switzerland It's a four-day event Yesterday me and my crew we shot some content for Red Bull and this is our third day here And I wanted to take advantage and show you guys how you can make your iPhone shots look amazing at events Don't underestimate your smartphone cameras. It's powerful enough to shoot great videos Just like any other type of filmmaking shooting an event requires some preparation You need to know what you want to capture and how you're going to do it So the number one tip I have for you guys is to treat your iPhone like a professional camera It all starts up here. This mindset is important because it will change the way you approach your event Videography instead of just pointing and shooting take the time to think about your shots and what you want to capture This will help you create a more polished and professional video be confident about yourself filming with an iPhone And don't let others tell you that you can't shoot great videos with one. Remember. It's not the camera It's the person behind it My next tip is to get to know your iPhone's camera settings It's important that you learn about your iPhone camera settings before you start shooting an event This way you can be sure that you're using the right settings for the situation for event type videos I like to shoot in 4k 60 frames per second This gives me a lot of resolution to work with when I'm editing and it also gives me the ability to slow down Also important locking your exposure and focus will also help you get consistent shots throughout the event If you don't know how to do that make sure to check out this video up here But my third tip is to use a tripod or gimbal if you want to get really stable shots using a tripod or gimbal is a must I would recommend using a tripod if you're going to be shooting static shots like performing on stage If you're going to be moving around a lot then a gimbal will give you the most Stability. I recommend the DJI OM4 gimbal. It's what I use and is amazing Make sure to check out some of my gimbal reviews to find the best one for your need And if you're looking for cinematic gimbal moves to create I also have you covered by watching this video up here Number four is to enable the rule of third simply put the rule of thirds is when you divide your frame into thirds Both horizontally and vertically then you place your subject at one of the intersections This will help you create a more visual appealing and balanced shot And to enable the rule of thirds on your iPhone go to settings, camera and grid and turn it on Now use the rule of thirds to frame your subject using the intersections And you will see a difference in your shot So number five zoom in or use a wide-angle lens for interesting perspectives Zooming in or using a wide-angle lens can help you add interest to your shots If you're shooting a performer on stage try to use the built-in telephoto lens Or if you don't have one use a third-party lens like the one from Sandmark Or zoom in to fill in the frame with their face This will help you capture the emotions of the performance Avoid zooming in too much as this will reduce the quality of your video You can also use a wide-angle lens to capture the whole stage or venue This can be a great way to set the scene and give your viewers a sense of the event Number six is to get people involved When you're shooting an event there are always going to be people around you And they can add a lot to your videos Ask them if they want to be part of your video Get them to do something crazy dance or do a pose and capture their reaction shots This will help you create a more engaging and immersive video You will be surprised at how willing people are to be part of your video Even if you're shooting with an iPhone because they don't feel intimidated By a small camera like that And number seven get creative with your shots Think about using different angles shooting through objects Or using ultra slow motion or hyperlapses By doing this you'll be able to add some visual interest to your shots And make them more unique Imagine how the viewers would feel if they saw the same shot over and over again It would get boring So make sure to mix things up and keep your shots interesting Now as a bonus tip be prepared for anything You never know what's going to happen at an event So it's important to be prepared for anything Bring a power bank with you A small LED light Have enough storage space on your phone And bring some extra lenses If your phone doesn't have additional built-in lenses like the iPhone 13 Pro Max By being prepared You'll be able to capture any moment that comes in your way Now planning and preparing for your event video can seem daunting But by following these simple tips You'll be able to capture great footage with your iPhone Experiment with different shots and angles to find what works best for you And most importantly don't forget to enjoy the event If you're looking into mobile videos and want to learn all of the pro tips Then you don't want to miss my smartphone filmmaking course It's packed with over five hours of exclusive content Including how to edit videos like this event Tips on how to get the best shots How to make your videos stand out from the rest And more So check it out now and see how you can take your mobile filmmaking to the next level Make sure to also download my free smartphone filmmaking guide Which includes my 10 step process to filming great videos with your smartphone Now if you are finding value in this video Make sure to subscribe and hit the notification bell so that you don't miss any new videos Thank you so much for watching Happy filming and see you the next time I'm going to tell you what, I'm going to tell you a story I'm going to tell you a story
