Unlock the creative power already in your pocket with Smartphone Cinematography 101 — a comprehensive course designed to teach you how to shoot high-quality, cinematic video using only your smartphone. Whether you're an aspiring filmmaker, content creator, social-media storyteller, travel-video enthusiast or simply someone wanting to explore video production, this course offers a complete roadmap from basics to professional-looking results.

At its core, the course focuses on the universal principles of cinematography — composition, lighting, movement, and visual storytelling — but adapts them specifically for smartphone creators. You’ll learn how to frame your shots with intention, using techniques such as the rule of thirds, strong leading lines, dynamic angles, and varied shot types to build visual interest. Even simple scenes become more engaging when you understand how to guide the audience’s eye and shape the emotional tone of your footage.
Lighting is another essential pillar. The instructor explains how to work with natural light, how to position the subject for flattering and cinematic results, and how to use low-budget tools like reflectors, diffusers, and small LED lights. You’ll understand how to capture clean, well-exposed images in bright daylight, low-light environments, and everything in between.
