If you are someone who cares about the granular details in film aesthetic then you might be interested in this video. It’s a chance to see just how far phones have come in their recording ability but also how far they have to go. A youtuber decided to do a comparison video of an iPhone 7+ and camera that’s been used to film major motion pictures: the mini Arri Alexa HD camera. While everyone’s been touting 4K these days you’d be surprised to know that much of Hollywood in movie and television still sticks with HD and not 4K.
Whichever choice you think is better is entirely up to you but it’s evident that for phone to match the qualities of movies a few tweaks are going to be needed. Anyway, the full breakdown of these two cameras is in the video below. Hope you enjoy it.
P.S. Here’s one important thing for future and aspiring filmmakers to remember. If the iPhone 7 is the only thing you can make your movie on, then make your movie on it. Making something on an inferior camera is still making something instead of making nothing. Best of luck out there!
