ad 📸 5 tips for filming high-quality content wi ad 📸 5 tips for filming high-quality content with your phone ⬇️⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Every day I get asked what camera I use for my videos and the secret is…. I use my phone! 📱⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ So here are my recommendations on how I film high-quality content using my phone & @tiktok ⁣⁣ ⚙️ 1. SETTINGS⁣⁣ Always record videos in 4K & 60 frame rates per second. When you film at 60fps you can edit your videos later to look “slow-mo” for that dreamy look. If you use an iPhone, turn off HDR as most editing programs don’t support this. TikTok supports high-quality content on their app, so make sure to turn on “allow high-quality uploads” when you next post.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🔍 2. WIPE YOUR LENS⁣⁣ This is the biggest mistake I see others making! ALWAYS wipe your lens before filming, it’ll make your videos look clear & crisp. I carry around a microfibre cloth with me for this reason.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 💡 3. LIGHTING⁣⁣ I plan my filming days around the weather because filming in sunny conditions will give you the best quality videos – or ideally, sunrise or sunset! The weather app is one of my most opened apps after TikTok. Otherwise, for bad weather days get yourself some additional lighting. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🤳 4. MOVEMENT⁣⁣ For relaxing videos, film SLOWLY. To do this, keep your arms STILL and move from your hips instead, left to right or take a slow lunge forward. Don’t make people feel dizzy when watching your videos. Enjoyable videos = more engagement.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🎨 5. COLOUR GRADING⁣⁣ Make your videos POP with video filters in the CapCut video editing mobile app and within the TikTok app. For more advanced colour grading, adjust brightness & contrast + fine-tune colours, hue & saturation in the HSL editing feature. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ TikTok’s algorithm prioritises creativity over follower count, so a well crafted video using these filming techniques really has the potential to help you go viral and grow an audience like mine. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I hope these tips helped, if you have any questions leave them below and stay tuned for my next video where I share more tips on how to make high-quality content on TikTok! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #TikTokPartner #HighQualityContent⁣⁣ iPhone video settings. iPhone videography. iPhone video quality.
