Due to popular demand, i made this Blackmagic camera entry guide for y’all! Let me know if you have any questions and what you’d like to know more about! Step 1: Set Resolution and Codec 1. Open the Blackmagic Camera app on your iPhone. 2. Tap on the Settings icon (usually a gear icon). 3. Select Resolution – For the highest quality, choose 4K. This resolution captures the most detail and makes your videos look sharp. If you need to save space, you can use 1080p (HD), but 4K is ideal for professional-looking footage.( what i recommend) 4. Choose Codec – Set it to ProRes for high-quality footage (ideal if you plan to edit), or H.264 if you need smaller file sizes for easier sharing. Step 2: Adjust Frame Rate for Smoothness 1. Go back to the main screen and tap on the frame rate option (often labeled “fps”). 2. For a cinematic look, select 24fps (frames per second). This frame rate is what most movies use and gives your video a natural, film-like feel. 3. If you want smoother footage (ideal for fast-moving subjects or sports), choose 30fps or 60fps. The higher the frame rate, the smoother the motion will appear. Step 3: Manually Set ISO and Shutter Speed 1. Tap the ISO icon to adjust the brightness of your footage. • For bright outdoor settings, set ISO between 100-200 to keep the image crisp. • For darker settings, increase ISO to around 800-1600, but be cautious—higher ISO can introduce grain (noise) into your footage. 2. Tap the Shutter Speed icon (or look for “Shutter” in settings). • Follow the 180-degree rule: Set shutter speed to double your frame rate. For example, if you’re shooting at 24fps, set the shutter speed to 1/48. This keeps motion looking natural and avoids choppiness or excessive motion blur. Step 4: Set White Balance for Accurate Colors 1. On the main screen, tap the WB icon (White Balance). 2. Choose a preset that matches your lighting conditions: • Daylight for outdoor shooting in sunlight. • Tungsten for indoor shots with warm, yellow lighting.

A simple guide on how to get your shots to look professional and more intentional. I often get a lot of questions asking me the best way to make your shots dynamic and appealing, below is my full guide on how to achieve this ; 1. Rule of Thirds Imagine your photo divided into nine equal parts by two horizontal and two vertical lines, creating a grid. Placing your subject along these lines or at their intersections can make your composition more balanced and interesting. How to Apply: • Enable Gridlines: Most cameras and smartphones have a grid option; turn it on to assist with composition. • Position Key Elements: Place important parts of your subject, like the eyes in a portrait, at or near the intersections of the grid lines. Improvement Tips: • Practice: Regularly use the grid to train your eye in composing shots naturally. • Experiment: Try different placements to see how they affect the feel of your photo. 2. Leading Lines Leading lines are natural or man-made lines that guide the viewer’s eye through the photo, often toward the main subject. They add depth and make the image more dynamic. How to Apply: • Identify Lines: Look for roads, fences, rivers, or even shadows that lead toward your subject. • Compose Accordingly: Position these lines to draw attention to the focal point of your image. Improvement Tips: • Vary Perspectives: Try shooting from different angles to see how the lines interact with your subject. • Combine with Other Techniques: Use leading lines alongside the rule of thirds for a more compelling composition. 3. Fill the Frame This technique involves getting closer to your subject so it occupies most or all of the frame, eliminating distractions and emphasizing details. How to Apply: • Move Closer: Physically approach your subject or use your camera’s zoom function. • Focus on Details: Highlight interesting textures, patterns, or features by filling the frame. Improvement Tips: • Be Mindful of Focus: Ensure that the important parts of your subject are sharp and clear.

the clone effect So here's how you can create this multiple clone effect inside Premiere Pro 1️⃣For this effect, you only need to film one shot using your tripod and your phone or camera . a) For professional camera; I prefer using a wide angle lens like 14mm or lower to give you that wide perspective and to also help show movement later. For my shot, I used a laowa 10mm Zero-D autofocus lens. b) For iPhone/ android ; Open your camera app and switch to 0.5 instead of 1. On your iPhone/android 0.5 is equivalent to 13mm lens, so this is very great and affordable by anyone. 2️⃣So go ahead, set up the tripod in an open area and use a wide-angle lens or switch to .5 on your iPhone . 3️⃣Next , record and move in a zig-zag motion towards your camera to make sure this effect pops out better . ( you don't have to, you can also use objects to do this) 4️⃣After filming, bring your clips inside Premiere Pro, trim off the excess footage and after you have a clean plate we can use for this effect, start from the beginning and count 15-20 frames, then add a mark by pressing command "M" on your keyboard, while still there, grab a still and export it. Do that as many times as you can, then import those stills inside Photoshop, select your subject then comand+shift + I to invert then hit delete and you should have a clean masked out frame. Head over to file, export then export as png. 5️⃣Bring all those stills back inside Premiere Pro, line them up using the marked points, and when you play them back you should have a clean clone effect but you might notice the frames look fake. So this means, you gonna need to mask your original clip then import it again( you can do this by using magic mask inside DaVinci resolve or rotoscop in after effects) then after masking oh, you just need to re- import it and put it on top of the frames and the original clip . 6️⃣If you want to spice it up a little bit, you can add speed ramp and directional blur Feel free to lmk if you have any questions when trying this out!
