Phone filming & editing

The studio is in your pocket: a phone shoots cinema quality! The secrets are light, sound and stability: film near a window by day, hold the phone with two hands or prop it on books.

• ●Light: face the window, never back to the sun
• ●Sound: quiet room, phone close to the hero
• ●Frame: horizontal! (not vertical — for cinema)
• ●Editing: CapCut / iMovie — free, with tutorials

Editing is when pieces become a story: cut the excess, join the best takes, add music and titles. Rule: every shot must move the story forward.
