12 tips for shooting iPhone 11 and 11 Pro video

The iPhone 11 and 11 Pro are two of the best phones you can buy to capture video. Yes, a dedicated camera like a Sony RX100, Panasonic GH5 or Sony A7III will record videos with better quality. But none are as convenient as your iPhone. I've gathered a baker's dozen of tips to make filming on your iPhone easier and better. Almost all of these tips can also apply to filming video on older iPhones as well as phones like the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 or Google Pixel 4.

I cover everything from video orientation, resolution, frame rate, autofocus, auto exposure, slow motion, zoom, selfie videos as well as doing simple edits like adjusting the exposure, highlights, shadows and color.

Watching this for a school project and if there’s one thing school video projects has taught me it’s appreciating videography and photography more
Once you experience first hand how hard it is to pull off even a decent looking video you appreciate people who can do it even more. More than just thinking “that video looks cool.”
Gained more respect towards photographers and videographers than I initially already had 🫡 this medium is hard.

Excellent video - thank you from England GB, UK

Thank you! I've been looking for a video exactly like this - very practical. Have you done a separate video on lenses for iPhones? I'm looking at Moment ones, etc. I'd like to know what lens is best to shoot corporate style interviews - best one to achieve a shallow depth of field look. Essentially, portrait mode on the iPhone but in video. Thanks!

Good stuff! Question. When shooting a selfie video, where are my eyes supposed to look? I always look like I’m looking off in the distance...🤦🏻‍♂️
