• Whether you're a beginner just getting into iPhone video and using Blackmagic or are coming from another app like FiLMiC Pro

• Really anyone who wants to create professional video with a iPhone (and even make money using it)

Suggested Requirements:

• A general knowledge of film or video terms and concepts is ideal, but not mandatory. Various gear, software and techniques mentioned might sound unfamiliar otherwise. But, if you're a novice don't worry as you can learn along the way (that's the idea, right?).

• However, this is NOT a filmmaking "how to" course. Here we focus on how to use the Blackmagic Camera app to create high quality videos and films. Check out our companion course "Smartphone Cinematography 101" for comprehensive lessons on the craft & techniques of visual storytelling and shooting mobile video. And we also have a course on color grading with LumaFusion if you're interested in the post-production side.

• A compatible iPhone or Android with the Blackmagic Camera app installed (it's a free app).

• Please note: The app is now available for both iOS and Android devices. This course was made using an iPhone, but most of the features and operations are the same. Although, some features demoed in the course do require an iPhone (like for ProRes) or an iPhone 15/16 Pro or Pro Max to use (for Apple Log), however, you do NOT need a 15/16 series iPhone to use most features in the app.
