How to *actually* make cinematic videos from *smartphones* !

If you want to make cinematic video but dont have professional equipment, you can also make them through smartphone!


1.Use a tripod or gimbal

you would need a tripod to actually make stable videos as it is impossible to make stable videos just by your hands. If you budget is a little bigger, go for dji osmo gimbal for mobiles. Gimbals allow you to make a very smooth video without shaking which is not possible with a regular tripod.



2.Play with frame and resolution

Use a cinematic resolution for filming videos or add the cinematic bars after making the video through editing. If your video's resolution is 1920x1080, it would look like a normal yt video even after alot of editing. But, addding the black bars will make a unedited video look cinematic.




3.Adjust Lighting

Lighting is literally the most important factor. If your lighting is trash, nothing can make your video look good. Choose the correct lighting for your environment. If you don't know how to use correct lighting, search it on youtube or google and learn it. You may use some external equipment like softbox lights.



4.Quality audio

Your audio quality also contributes alot in adding cinematic touch. A clear audio with very less background noise is the best. If there is no character in your video, you can add bg music, or any ambient sound. If there is someone speaking in your video, then if possible use a mic. If not possible, then film in a silent environment. If you can't find a silent environment, then dub the voice afterwards.




5.Editing and color grading

editing and color grading can make look a normal video cinematic. Color grading can give any look to your video like action, horror, dramatic. Editing can make your video look cinematic as you can make some montages or add transition, effects, and vfx , cgi. If you know some 3d work, it will be the best.



6.Film at a higher frame rate

Filming at higher frame rate allows you to make it in slow mo after the video has been made. For ex, a 60fps video can be slow downed and it will still look smother, but a video made in 30fps would not look smoother in slow motion. Filming in higher frame rate also make the video look smooth.
