Top 10 tips for making good movies with mobile phones
As the mobile phone’s photo function becomes better and better,Mobile photographyIt is also becoming more and more popular. However, as far as the mobile phone itself is concerned, there are still many limitations when shooting without additional photography accessories. How can we make good use of the advantages and disadvantages of mobile phones to take pictures that are comparable to, or even better than, the camera?
1. Play with color
Most mobile phones do not have a large aperture, which can make the picture become a prominent subject through virtualization. More often, the picture obtained by mobile phone photography is relatively flat. And color is a factor that can directly attract eyeballs, which can be used as the theme of creation. Try to capture only a single color or the same color system. I believe that the resulting picture is not only concise and unified, but also very visual impact.
2. Focus on details
If you catch the details of everyday things, you may get a new visual experience. In addition, the shooting details do not require shallow depth of field, and the mobile phone is also easier to focus at close range. Grasp the texture material of the object to make the picture more prominent.
3. Find line
In the mobile phone photography works, the subject matter of the shooting architecture can be said to account for a large part, which is mainly due to the design sense and artistic conception of the architectural lines, making the picture look simple but not dull. At the same time, the extension of lines can make the plane three-dimensional.
However, pay attention to the distortion caused by the wide-angle lens of the mobile phone when shooting. If you can’t control it well in the early stage, you can use the APP to correct it later.
4. Find a comparison
Life is full of contrast, big and small, light and dark, cold and warm colors. Contrast can make the picture jump out of the plain and attract the audience’s interest. The connotation of contrast can also trigger the audience’s thinking and make people unforgettable.

5. Picture in Picture
Break the conventional picture and shoot the picture fixed by another mobile phone to form a picture in picture effect. This can make the picture more layered and interesting.
6. Beat water droplets
This method is similar to the method of shooting details. It uses the advantage of mobile phone’s macro focusing to capture the hazy urban scene through the water droplets on the glass window, which is more artistic.
When shooting at night, you can get virtual lights and neon signs, and the picture is more beautiful.
7. Take a big picture
Since mobile phones generally use wide-angle lenses, it is easy to distort the characters when taking close-up shots, so it is easier to control large-scale shooting. At the same time, the big scene has a certain role of “leaving blank”, which can give the picture a more profound artistic conception.
It should be noted that the proportion of characters in the large scene composition is relatively small, the space environment should be “clean”, and the colors and elements should be unified as far as possible to highlight the main body.
8. Aerial photography
This method is more used in food and still life shooting. If you shoot from a head up view angle, it is difficult for mobile photography to make the background virtual, which not only does not highlight the main body, but also often inadvertently captures messy background elements. The overhead shooting can just avoid these unfavorable factors. As long as you choose a clean background and arrange it slightly, you can create a clean and comfortable picture.
9. Stagger splicing
The pictures of posters or book covers can be spliced with the characters through dislocation, which can not only avoid exposure, but also appear creative and interesting. What’s more, there is no requirement for shooting equipment, so why can’t mobile photography be played like this?
10. Late replenishment
I did my best in the early stage, and I will make up for it in the later stage to make the picture even better. Use the post APP to adjust the exposure contrast tone, etc., to make the picture more perfect. What can we do without fine-tuning? Then add a filter, and simply operate it to brighten the picture.
