How I Film Silent Vlogs with a Phone

When I started filming videos, I didn't know anything about filming and editing and just learned things along the way. Today, I would like to share everything that I learned over the last 6 months of filming using my android phone. I will highlight the settings, gear and filming process that I undergo, as well as some habits that I take to capture beautiful moments.

***********************************************************

There are still a lot of things that I would like to add but I didn't want the video to become unnecessarily long so I will outline some of the stuff here that I didn't have the chance to insert.

On Shutter Speed:
I mentioned that I use it to reduce the brightness of a scene, however, there's more to it than that. While shutter speed affects the dimness or brightness of a scene, it can also affect how movements appear, whether that's blurry or more life-like. Adjust the shutter speed according to your style.

Compositions:
I don't overthink about composition but mostly adhere to the rule of thirds, so I use the gridlines in my camera.

Post process:
I didn't want the video to become too long so I chose not to add this section.
Exporting:
I upload the videos I've shot to an external hard drive at home and download them to my Macbook. Some programs allow you to remotely access files from your phone to your PC.
Editing:
I use the free version of Davinci Resolve to edit my videos. Let me know if you want me to go in-depth on editing my videos. :)

Resources:
Here are some of the resources that I found helpful when I was just starting:
Master Mobile Filmmaking in 20 Minutes:    • Master Mobile Filmmaking in 20 Minutes  
Shotlists:    • Ultimate Guide to Camera Shots: Every Shot...  
I just picked up the most basic lessons in these videos since I'm not creating a feature film but they're still good to know. *
