Camera settings, camera shots and camera angles
Smartphone Settings
1. Set the video frame rate.
On an Android device, open up the Camera app > switch to Video mode > and then tap on the
recording settings to open up a list of resolutions and fps values. Like the iPhone, default video
recordings should be set to HD (1080p) at 30fps. Switch the fps value to 60 for the smoothest
capturing.
2. Turn on the stabilization mode.

Stabilization mode settings vary depending on the brand and model. You can turn on the
stabilization mode on the recording settings.
3. Use the Grid Guide - Using a grid is a great way to ensure you get the composition of your
photos just right. Working to a grid can help you create more interesting compositions when the
subject is at the intersection of multiple lines and not just square in the middle of the shot. Your
phone should feature a 3x3 grid, which among other things can help you use the "rule of thirds"
rule and position subjects one third way into frame.
Open the camera app and then open the camera Settings. You should see a section for Grid
and guides. Toggle on Grid.
4. Enable Pro mode

If you know what you’re doing when it comes to photography, or you want to learn, try turning on
Pro mode. This lets you adjust manually a host of camera settings that your phone will normally
take care of for you automatically. If you want to adjust the shutter speed, ISO and white balance
settings this is the setting for you.
To enable Pro mode, open the Camera app and change the camera mode to More,
then tap Pro. The new settings will appear at the bottom and top of the screen.
5. Turn on automatic HDR

Knowing when to use High Dynamic Range or HDR is another way to get the most from your
phone’s camera. It’s a great way to capture wider dynamic ranges than your camera can in just
one shot. HDR won’t always be what you need however and if you’re not a photography expert
luckily your phone can enable or disable HDR as it sees fit if you enable automatic HDR.
Open the Camera app, tap the HDR icon (It should be next to the flash controls) and tap
HDR Auto.
6. Slow-Mo
The settings on your phone can also help your video skills. Slow motion used to be reserved for
80s action movies, but now you can harness its power for yourself to create beautiful cinematic
videos. But don’t go exploding anything just so you can walk away from it in slo-mo.
Open the Camera app and change the camera mode to More, then tap Slo-mo. After that,
just record like a normal video and watch it back at a snail’s pace.
7. Time-lapse or time-lapse photography is a cinematography technique whereby the frequency

at which film frames are captured (the frame rate) is much lower than that used to view the
sequence. When you replay this sequence at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and
thus lapsing.
 Timelapse combines a series of still images into a video, while hyperlapse speeds up
normal-speed video. The longer answer as to why this makes a difference is a bit more
complex, and while you could use them interchangeably, each is better suited for specific
types of content.
Common Camera Shots and Angles

 Eye-Level Camera Angle
The simplest and most commonly used angle is the eye-level
angle. By using this neutral angle, you can get a really close-up
image of your subject.
The eye-level angle is perfect for conveying emotion and picking

up facial detail and expression.
 Low Angle
Choosing a low-angle shot requires looking up at your
subject from below their eye level, and shooting upwards
(this might involve sitting down or squatting).
The low angle is great for making your subject seem bigger,
closer, taller, and wider. This unique perspective is
commonly used in films to make a character or scene seem
dominating or epic.
 High Angle
The high angle shot is, unsurprisingly, the opposite of a low
angle. To achieve a high angle, either tilt your camera
downwards or make sure you’re a few inches above your
subject and shoot looking down on them.
High angle shots can significantly alter the impression of

your video, making your subject seem smaller and the
surroundings appear more vast.
 Bird’s-Eye View Angle

A more extreme version of the high angle is the bird’s-eye
view angle. This is when you need to be positioned
so that you’re looking down over your subject.
The bird’s-eye view angle works really well for

including lots of detail in your shot. However, it can
be hard to get a real bird’s-eye view without a
drone!
 Dutch Angle Shot

The Dutch angle is a camera shot with a tilt on the
camera’s roll axis. Also known as the Dutch tilt or
canted angle, this shot produces a viewpoint mirroring
a tilt of the head.
The Dutch angle is a cinematic technique, used to

portray a sense of uneasiness or tension. With roots in
German Expressionism.
 Close-Up Shot
Close-up photographs refer to a tightly cropped image that
shows your subject up close, with much more detail than the
human eye would perceive.
A typical close-up camera shot would include your subject’s face

from the forehead to their chin. Or, it can focus on one specific
detail. This type of shot would be taken using an eye level
camera angle, to capture the facial features perfectly.
 Long Angle Shot
Long shots are one of the best ways to identify your
subject in relation to their background (showing a
person standing in front of a famous landmark, for
example).
More can be included in the long shot, from

surroundings to people. The long camera shot is
ideal for capturing whole-body images and groups of
people and is great for filming action sequences.
 Medium Shot Camera Angle

In between the long shot and the close-up, is the
medium shot. Medium shots typically show the
subject from their head to their waist. These shots
are great for capturing both the facial expressions
and body language of your subject.
Medium camera shots also work well for

photographing people alongside whatever
background they’re in. As neither the subject nor the
background dominates the shot, it allows us to focus
on both of them when looking at the image.
