Ahoj this is Zdenka! If you are a complete beginner when it comes to smartphone filmmaking
and if you want to learn how to take video sequence of any location, well this video
will show you how to do just that with 10 clips.
I am gonna be using iPhone 12pro and DJI OM4, but this applies to any gimbal. Clip number
1. We are going to start with revealing a location, the establishing shot. My choice
is to film in 60fps so I can slow down parts of the clips. First thing to do is choose
white balance in DJI Mimo settings. Today is
overcast so I am going to go with that. Before each shot you also want to lock exposure by
tapping on the screen and holding until you see a little lock. You want to use follow
mode for this shot as you want the gimbal follow your moves as you are tilting up. If
you have multiple lenses, go with standard. Start very low to the ground, going forward
revealing the location. Notice that I am very deep in my knees to be as smooth as possible
even though it's quite difficult to do in the snow. Second clip will be also shot with
standard lens. Walking through the location from different angle. I am going to go forward
maintaining the same speed. I am using TILT LOCK mode. It is a nice long shot which
will be changed later on in a post, into a slow, fast and slow shot. Clip number 3. Next
up is a close up shot. Choose any object. I am going to select telephoto lens as I want
to see some bokeh, blurry background. Go very close on the object, tap on the screen and
hold until you see a lock. This means focus is locked. Rotate from right to left counter
clockwise and then slowly pull back until it's no longer in focus and you get this image
which is a bit blurry. In post we are going to reverse this shot. It is much easier to
do it this way. Clip number 4. Find different
interesting object which will really pop as close up shot. Try to look for interesting
color or shape. Go close, and the same thing like in previous clip. Use telephoto lens,
lock it up by tapping and holding the finger on the screen and circle around in the same
distance. Go from left right… clockwise. You
can do it looking up or in the eye level… if your object is low then get low yourself.
Maintain same slow speed. Clip number 5. Find something else for the last close up shot.
Telephoto lens again, lock it up and this time I am going down. Once you have few seconds
of close up quickly whip to the right. Make sure your gimbal is in sports mode to react
quickly. This will be a transition. Clip number 6. To finish the transition from the previous
clip we are going to continue in the same direction. This time you will whip from
the left to center where you will stay and slowly finish move going forward. You will
choose some nice view and film with standard lens to get the medium shot. Again, you want
to use sports mode to have gimbal react quickly. Giveaway time. Nicely hidden in the middle
of the video. Two winners will be announced. One of them will receive Mirfak compact
on camera microphone N2 and the other one can win Mirfak dual channel wireless microphone
system WE1. What do you have to do to win one of these? Well, hit the thumbs up,
subscribe to this channel and comment below the video in a comment section. Deadline is,
you have exactly 48 hours, on Wednesday December 16th at 12 noon EST time. The winner will
be announced the very next day below this video in a comment section. The comment will
be pinned to the top and also, it will be announced in a video description below this
video. Good luck. Clip number 7. Select ultra wide
angle lens, select tilt follow mode on your gimbal and find something very tight to shoot
through revealing something behind. And slowly push through to show the location off.
It might be little bit tricky if you are using DJI OM4 as you would have to hold the gimbal
sideways. I optioned for flipping the gimbal upside down as I had opening for my
arm on the top. Let’s try something fun with the 8th clip. FPV mode will allow you
this wavy airplane move. Select standard lens, start
from the center and keep going sideways. Very slowly move your gimbal like you are painting
a wall. Clip number 9. If you have a monopod or selfie stick, you want to use it for
this shot. Find interesting view from top. Attach your gimbal to monopod, prepare your
phone so it is laying flat and walk slowly sideways to the right with a little spin which
is similar to previous airplane move. Keep your gimbal still in FPV mode. Show off what
is underneath. Use standard lens or wide angle lens but check if you are not seeing
yourself accidentally in the shot. Last shot is here. Revealing the whole location. Use
ultra wide angle lens. Have your gimbal still on monopod. Select follow mode on the
gimbal. Start from very low angle slowly going up while you are lifting your smartphone very
high. The crane shot. Now that we have all 10 clips, let's find some music, edit it
together and you might end up with something like this. If you are still looking for music
for your video, the service I am using for all my videos is from Epidemic Sound. Link
