Potential of Smartphones
Recently, a journalist group, RYOT, have made the first 4k short film using the new iPhone 6s. After watching this, I agree with NoFilmSchool, that this reveals the potential that smartphones have of being a powerful tool for film and can even change journalism.
RYOT captured impressive shots of the location, using their iPhone 6s. However they did use lens and stabilizers which definitely helped the quality, but overall you can see the quality the iPhone camera itself already provides which is comparable to DSLRs and high end cameras.
The author gives the short film video itself and also the behind the scenes video, then follows with examples comparing iPhones' cameras throughout the years. They include various pictures comparing each phone with different tests such as macro, backlit, and sunset. He also claims that smartphones have the ability to become very powerful in filmmaking and can influence filmmakers as technology advances.
Overall, I enjoyed reading this article and what the author has showed with the ability of smartphones, since most people, if not all, have one right in their pockets including me. This was interesting and has given me many ideas and inspiration to do more with my own phone and learn how to take advantage of its quality.
