Modern smartphones have many professional features that are not always self-explanatory in their use. In this workshop, participants will learn techniques for producing short films or photos with their smartphone that stand out from the standard. Image strategies that are useful for your own visual content, e.g. cropping, asymmetry, cropping, detail, diagonal, diptych, triple constellation, will be discussed and tested in practice. Under the guidance of the instructor, participants will practise the use of exposure times, aperture and the use of filters, which have a major impact on the final result, and create short films and reels.
