iPhones are becoming more popular in the cinematography world. Here are a few other examples where iPhones were used
• After shooting “Unsane” and “High Flying Bird” on iPhone, director Steven Soderbergh said shooting movies on iPhone is “the future” and "one of the most liberating experiences that I’ve ever had as a filmmaker."
• Runaway Sundance success Tangerine was shot entirely on iPhone 5s, was picked up by Magnolia Pictures, and star Mya Taylor made history at the Spirit Awards in 2016, becoming the first transgender actress to win a major film award (best supporting actress) for her work.

• Filmmaker Matthew Cherry created the short film 9 Rides following the "rollercoaster night of an Uber driver" on iPhone telling Blavity "we wanted to prove that it didn't matter what you shot with, iPhone or Red Camera, a good story is a good story, and you need to tell your story by any means necessary."

Why Directors and Cinematographers are choosing iPhones
• Immediacy and intimacy: Directors say they’re able to shoot scenes quickly and move forward with production without the cumbersome logistics of a large production when shooting on iPhone. Additionally, it is much easier to capture authentic and intimate scenes because the intimidation factor is removed given the comfort level most people have with an iPhone.
• Impressive color accuracy: iPhone 11 Pro does not oversaturate images, but instead focus on letting customers shoot what they see, making post-production faster.
• Video capture flexibility: iPhone offers flexibility for shooting in various resolutions and frame rates.
• With iPhone 11 Pro, you can also shoot, edit and export in 4K at 60 fps, which is being used more and more in the industry to capture incredibly high-quality content.
iPhone 11 Pro Video Tips and Tricks

The highest quality video in a smartphone is now even better with cinematic video stabilization and extended dynamic range at 4K 60fps. You get more creative control, too, with four times more scene and powerful new editing tools to edit your cinematic masterpiece.
4K Video
iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro have the highest quality video in a smartphone with extended dynamic range for more highlight detail and cinematic video stabilization. To record 4K video go to Settings -> Camera -> Record Video -> Select 4K at 30 fps or 4K at 60 fps. Higher frames rates are great for capturing fast motion and action. Once you’ve selected 4K at 30 fps or 4K at 60 fps, you will notice a badge in the Camera app when you’re recording video.
