Being a professional or amateur video editor was quite difficult in the past. This is because, to make quality editions, expensive equipment was needed. If it was like this in editing, imagine it in filming. Thankfully, technology brought us smartphones, allowing us to film better without having to spend tons of money.
Although a cell phone with a good camera isn't the cheapest thing in the world, it is much more affordable than cameras that, in some cases, don't even fit in our pockets (in every sense). So, with a little practice, you will be able to take excellent footage on your device and even edit it on the same device.

How to film better with your smartphone?
If you are going to use your cell phone camera to make your recordings, you need to pay attention to a few things. First, arrange the recording location. No filming in a messy, dirty environment, unless that is the intention of the video. Don't forget to check the camera's framing as well. After all, no one deserves to see crooked content.
Another tip we give is to keep an eye on the lighting. Dark environments, yellowish skin and red eyes are not well regarded in the world of photography. So, if you're not shooting a horror movie, turn up that light there. There is also a way for you to film better with your smartphone, through apps. See the list of the best options below.
