Bird’s-eye Shot Indoors Exterior bird’s-eye shots work well with chases and other action sequences. But as we see in this image from “Misaligned,” the high-angle can be used indoors to reveal elements of character, for example, the protagonist’s formal side vs. the informal. Note the clever placement of the shoes below the shirt. This visually gripping four-minute drama was directed by @sallyanndunn and shot on a Xia Xiaomi 12 Pro using a Zhiyun Smooth 5S, You can see “Misaligned” at MobileMovieMaking (link in profile). #smartphonemovie #bird’s-eye-view #cinematography #high-angle-shot https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpx5rZivAng/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sixty Seconds The @MobileFilmFest annually challenges filmmakers to deal with crucial topics such as the environment and human rights. But because of its requirement that films run just one minute, the Festival demonstrates that great storytelling doesn’t require a long run time. In effect, MFF follows the literary tradition in which future novelists first hone their storytelling skills by first writing short stories. The image here—from the 2018 Grand Prize Winner “Annisa”—is an example of wordless acting that conveys a powerful emotion. “Annisa” was directed by Khozy Rizal (@monsoonbear).
