Your smartphone is very capable of recording videos, and you can look for apps and equipment to make your smartphone better!

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO GET STARTED?

There are two main places to go, Bescript.com and iorgapher.com

First, think about what you can put on around your phone so you can focus on lighting, audio, and stability of your phone.

Next, start looking at apps that you can download to help with production.

With BeScript you can use those nice camera lenses to shoot on your phone!

WHAT MOBILE APPS SHOULD YOU BE USING?

For recording, Film Like A Pro and Movie Pro.

Film Like A Pro has a super simple interface. You have many presets that help you quickly shoot in the style to your liking.

Movie Pro has an actual editor built into it, but use this one more for just shooting.

For editing Luma Fusion allows you to edit similar to Adobe Premiere Pro.

You can also use Premiere Clips. This is good for creating a rough draft before cleaning it up when you have time.

These apps are very easy for EVERYONE to use.

The apps mentioned above work on both iPhone and Android.

First get the gear you want to use.

Second, you need to make sure you have enough room on your phone.

Make sure the notifications are off so you do not get disrupted during your shooting.

Have bullet points on what the video will be about.

DON'T SAVE YOUR VIDEO TO YOUR PHONE!

When you save your video to your phone, it compresses it and you lose the quality of the original video.

You may want to have two audio sources when recording then you have two choose from in case something happens with one.
