Blog Post #39- Choice of filming device

 Before I started filming, I needed to make a decision on what to use for filming. There are many varieties of film cameras that I could of used to film my project but instead of using a film camera I decided to use something that is more simple. I decided to use an iPhone 14 because of a few reasons.

The first reason for the choice of an iPhone 14 is because of its convenience. When I record scenes on a phone it is way easier to edit and transfer clips because of the clips already being on an electronic device that provides opportunities to do both of these things.
The second reason for this choice is because of the phones filming capabilities. The phone that I picked to use for filming has 2 cameras that are both 12 megapixels and can film in 4k. This phone also has the option to record videos cinematically. These filming capabilities can greatly increase the quality of my opening scene.

The third reason for this choice is that the iPhone 14 is handheld. With this phone I can record scenes that I want to be shown to the audience as handheld camera scenes. The iPhone 14 is also a device that you can hold in one hand and put it in your pocket which makes the filming process easier.

This is because having better production skills can make a film better and more entertaining. Without good production skills, a film may not look very realistic, and a film might not be as entertaining as it was originally intended to be.   Production skills can range from anything between having good camera shots, having costuming that fits with the character s role, adding proper score and sound effects, recreating sounds as re alistic as possible with foley, and having props that fit with the storyline.   My production skills have developed in beneficial ways while working on this project. Before filming my project, I originally didn't have much thought on the importance of score in films and before I filmed, I thought I wasn't going to use score. After filming my op ening scene, I...
