Note, this is NOT a filmmaking “how to” course. Here we focus on how to use the Blackmagic Camera app to create high quality videos and films. Check out our companion course “Smartphone Cinematography 101” for comprehensive lessons on the craft & techniques of visual storytelling and shooting mobile video.
Additional note: The app is now available for both iOS and Android devices. This course was made using an iPhone, but most of the features and operations are the same. Although, some features demoed in the course do require an iPhone (like for ProRes) or an iPhone 15/16 Pro or Pro Max to use (for Apple Log), however, you do NOT need a 15/16 series iPhone to use most features in the app.
Don’t wait to create! Start today and unlock the potential of this amazing mobile video app.
Who this course is for:
- Indie filmmakers, student filmmakers, YouTube creators, mobile journalists, documentary filmmakers, vloggers, corporate, real estate or social media video producers, etc.
- Whether you’re a beginner just getting into iPhone video and using Blackmagic or are coming from another app like FiLMiC Pro
- Really anyone who wants to create professional video with a iPhone (and even make money using it)
