iPhone Filmmaking

By Anonymous
Today this trailer played as an ad before a YouTube video I was about to watch:


This trailer is from new film Unsane. It piqued my interest because it's from one of my favorite filmmakers Steven Soderbergh. He is the director of the Ocean's movies and last year's Logan Lucky. After researching it a bit I found out the entire film was shot on an iPhone 7 Plus! This is not the first feature shot on an iPhone, but I was surprised because I could not tell. I've been fascinated with the concept of making a movie on an iPhone for a while because it means that anyone can shoot a movie with the equipment they have in their pocket. Soderbergh said that from now on he will shoot his films with the iPhone. Over the last year, I have been using my phone more and more because the quality has improved with each generation. These are some of my favorite shots that I have filmed using my 6s:

















After watching Sean Baker's Tangerine (2015), the first movie filmed on an iPhone, I read a lot about how they got the most out of the camera quality. Baker and Soderbergh both used an app called Filmic Pro. The app costs $10 and it allows the user to manually control the shutter speed, iso, white balance, etc. You can read Soderbergh's interview about making his new film here.

    That makes me think about trying to make a movie on a phone.

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.
