how to shoot a music video just using your phone
video i'm going to show you guys how to shoot a music video
just using your phone so i want to do this video for two reasons one
because since i've been doing these music video tutorials a lot of people
are asking what camera should they use and then two a lot of people make the
excuse of waiting to shoot music videos until they save up to get a camera so if
all you have right now is just your phone
use your phone now granted i've been shooting music videos for almost 10
years now and i've shot over 400 music videos
but we're gonna have fun the camera that's filming this
is a sony a7s2 it's got like a 1600 lens on it normally i shoot music videos with
this but we're going to dumb it down take it
back to just using the phone i don't think i've ever actually shot a music
video with a phone but it's going to be it'll be interesting at least if you're
not already make sure you subscribe and hit the bell to be notified for future
uploads more good content just like this right here all
right so we're here in nashville tennessee this is our airbnb
this is b-lils she's the artist i have other tutorials using b-lils as the
rapper on my channel too so make sure you check
those out but here's the deal it's going to be dark in about 30 minutes so we're
going to shoot a music video from start to finish in under 30 minutes and also
it's completely run and gun i haven't even heard the song so we're going to
listen to the song right now then step one i always say once you get
to the location pick out the coolest spots so we're gonna kind of
scout the airbnb real quick and pick out the dopey spots and then
start shooting also key here there's accessories you
can buy for your phone like stabilizer
attachments all sorts of other things that can take
your phone to the next level and i didn't want to use
any of that in this video i want to have it as simple as possible
also there's apps that you can pay for that allow you to adjust the shutter
speed the iso the aperture all that for your actual phone i'm gonna be shooting
it in auto mode with the phone so
everything is simple as you can possibly get
hopefully i can pull it off hopefully it looks dope
all right now like i said we're rushed on time because the sun is setting
we got the nashville tennessee skyline right here
on the balcony so we're gonna knock this thing out first and then do the rest
probably inside maybe yeah that way just a little bit
okay
i already know a lot of you are going to ask what phone am i filming this with
this is a samsung galaxy 9+ so that was actually
in 4k and then just to avoid the whole oh what would it look like if you filmed
it with an iphone b-lils has uh iphone 11 he's got the iphone 11 so
i'm going to get some scenes with iphone 11 some seasons with the
galaxy s9 plus and use both phones one thing that starts with filming with
your phone is i'm not seeing the setting to adjust the frames per second normally
the end product of the video is going to be 24 frames per second so normally i'd
be filming that shot right there 24 frames per second but i'm not able to
adjust that so i think by default it films in 30 frames per second but i do
have the option in here to film at 60 frames per second so i'm
going to get some b-roll of him just vibing with the song that's all going to
be in 60 frames just look over at the camera you ain't
got to uh just be wrong
all right
see right here you got a light above you so that should be straight and then you
got the this behind you slideshow
going around getting some b-roll right now random b-roll scenery b-roll
texture shots
i just want to see you live your life now one thing i have been doing is every
time i get a performance shot i switch it to 60 frames and then i'll
get some sort of b-roll i tell them don't say any words just fire with it
move your hands move your head and then i'll get some some b-roll of
the scenery too so we just did the stairwell so i'm
gonna get some b-roll of like this railing looking up
some of the bright lights coming in maybe the stairs
just so i have more footage to work with when i edit it
let's do it
uh y'all have an idea the sun is setting over there
let's walk this way by the way the sun's setting alyssa we'll be right back
face the sun sunset shot i might have to just get on that thing right here yeah
it's gonna be like a silhouette just jump on there yeah i'll use your phone
too maybe you should get a shot of him you
know act like he's grabbing the moon off the sky
you look like a bodybuilder
it's the angle for you
you baby know three tips on how to get better b-roll click the link in the
description let me know in the comments what other
questions you guys have you want me to cover
in videos please thank you one tip for y'all for better videos be
cracka lack i'm a rapper and i'm shooting a new
video i know he's got a phone but usually it's a real camera but it's a
phone today just to show people it's easy but can i sit on your car
standing like right here i wonder what that would look like like if you did a
tank like that like if you did it like right here that's what i was trying
to do but with the phones they're so like
wide angle yeah he's got like a 10 15 000 grill from johnny dang show
that thing off in the video also i found out with his iphone it can
film in 24 frames per second so what i was telling them is
usually people don't like real real tight shots like this of their
mouth because their teeth are up but he's got the
bro well my teeth don't look like that no
basically that yes i'm like you might as well do a selfie clip
just hold the phone out like this and so that's what we're about to do right now

like a selfie like where you're walking around like this
