We decided to do some experimental footage with our mobiles to see if we could use this type of filming within our final project.
The footage below was filmed and edited by myself.
Experimental Footage
The main problems with filming on mobiles is that when the footage is expanded it becomes blurry, this will make the picture look very out of place compared to the rest of the film. The other problem with using mobile footage is that the sound is of a very bad quality or (for example, the video below) isn't recorded at all. If we did use footage like this we would need to add a backing track and re-record any dialogue and ambient sound meaning this would delay production time. For these reasons we have decided to stick with filming all footage with a professional camera.
