Can you create professional video on a smartphone?

Think producing great video content is out of reach for your charity or SME due to budget constraints? Think again. Sometimes, the best investment is teaching your in-house team how to use the tools already at their fingertips. You can do an awful lot with the camera on your smartphone.

We’ve been helping teams build confidence in creating their own social media video campaigns for years. From the basics of kit setup to smart video planning, a little know-how goes a long way. 

Here are some starter tips to transform your smartphone into a professional video tool:

• Check your settings: Explore your phone’s video features - it might surprise you just how much flexibility and capability is already built in

• Focus lock: Use the focus lock to create a depth of field that looks like it was shot on a DSLR camera

• Framing: Enable the 3x3 grid to perfect your composition

• Boost your audio: A small investment in a mobile microphone can make a huge difference

• Steady as she goes: Use a tripod to eliminate camera shake and keep things polished
