It doesn't matter much, but it really does. I'm here to tell you that you can get very high quality videos with these handy tips and a few settings changes and you'll be ready to do what many people don't do. The explanation is that if you decide to invest in a high-quality camera and don't know how to use it,

your

video quality could still be bad and who wants that.

I just want to point out that smart

phone

s now cost thousands of dollars. of dollars, which is actually more than many DSLR cameras cost, so you have a thousand dollar tool in your hands, so it is better to make the most of it and the cameras on these devices are so good that do not underestimate them . the power of your phone just because you are always using it, so let's get into the tips, the first tip is obviously to have a phone with a high quality camera, so an HD camera, iPhones have HD cameras, Androids have HD cameras, just do it.

Make sure your phone has a quality camera and you can go into settings and change something to make sure your HD is even better, so what I did was I went into settings and scrolled down to camera and changed it . to shoot in 1080p at 60 frames per second, I was shooting at 30 frames per second but I changed it to 60 frames per second just to increase the quality a little. The second thing you should do is clean your lens, you know, clean your Take off your eyelids, remove all that oil, that makeup, that facial lotion, all that accumulates on our lenses and many times we forget to clean it, so make sure to clean your glasses a little before you start, you know? get a little lens cloth and wipe it down, wipe off all that dirt because a clean lens will make a clean looking video.

The third thing you need to do is figure out how you're going to mount your camera or how you're going to prop it up if we're being real because you don't have equipment, I'm assuming you don't have a tripod, so you're going to have to be very creative. Well, I'm going to have to get you some books or a box or a big old stack of something and prop up your phone call so that way you know you have a nice clear frame and just make sure there's not a lot of stuff in the background. I know I have a bit of not downplaying it, it doesn't matter, but do it.

Make sure the background is clear and you have a good frame. A good thing to think about is the rule of thirds, so you know you might not want to be in the center, but a little to the side. it looks a little bit more high quality, so if you want to sit on the side and be in that top third of the camera, you're good, step number four, always shoot horizontally, never, ever, that's fine, right? Do this, shoot your video vertically, it will create those nasty black blocks on the side when you upload it to anything.

The

only

place vertical video thrives is somewhere like Instagram Stories or Snapchat, but other than that, it will create two big black blocks. on the side of your video and it just doesn't take up the entire screen, it's the first indicator that you recorded this with your phone and it looks very un

professional

. The fifth thing you should do is sit in front of some natural light. Sit in front. from the window and I pay attention to the sun's peak hours, so in the morning I know that the sun peaks at the back of my house, which is where my office desk area is, so I personally don't I like to record videos. early in the morning because the sun shines and washes everything out, so it's good to pay attention to points of the day where the light is pretty neutral, it's kind of cloudy, or if it's not super sunny, put your camera as close as possible from the window, which is why he was not sitting.

I usually sit there because I have my ring light and the natural light comes in, but in this case I'm not using any equipment so I'm literally right in front of it. from the window, another thing you can do when shooting with your phone in natural light is adjust the exposure of your camera. Now this definitely applies to iPhones. I'm not sure if Androids have this feature, but if you find that box. where the video is focused and you swipe up you can change the amount of light and exposure and actually lock the exposure so that when you move the exposure doesn't change at one point it's like super light and then you move one more centimeter. and then it gets really dark, you don't want that to happen, so you can lock the exposure by just keeping your finger touching the box for a long time until it says "electronic lock".

Step six now has to do with audio quality, of course. You want to project your voice every time you're making a video, but we don't use a lapel mic, a boom mic, any kind of microphone, so we have to rely completely on the microphone on our camera and luckily these new cameras do too. They have excellent microphones. so it's not really compromising audio, but you just have to make sure you're really close to the camera. A lot of people want to shoot video, you know, have a good setup and come back here. Oh, shoot, I have a good setup and they.

We're back here trying to talk to the video so you can see the whole cute little outfit, but the audio is we're too far away at this point so make sure you're up close and in person and we can hear you. they're about two or three feet from the camera because you know you can't stress these cameras too much. No, it's still a phone and of course there are other fun things you can do with phone cameras that you don't have to do. sit and talk, you can take great videos with a phone, you can take time lapses with the phone, you can even record in slow motion, play with these features, they are there because they are capable of recording very high quality videos, so make sure you This $1,722,000 investment is well worth your money and can possibly make you some more money so you can invest and buy that camera or that light or whatever type of equipment you want, but I'll say this if that's the case. thinking knowing that you're getting better at just using your phone, I would definitely recommend that you buy lighting and audio before you jump in and buy a new camera, buy a cheap lighting kit for fifty bucks on Amazon or if you want to splurge and buy. a ring light for 150 to 200 I think is a more useful investment and will amplify the phone video as well as a good microphone just so you can get to know your video a little more because it's not really about the camera as much as It's all about making sure your video looks great and audio and lighting are actually very important, so good lighting makes for good video, no matter what kind of camera you have, if you have great lighting your video will look great. you will see much better.

Naturally, other than that, I think that's it. If you have any additional questions, hello, let me know. Make sure to subscribe to this channel. Leave me a comment.
