Summary
- Zoom in before you start recording and make the shot from a distance
- Only zoom in on your smartphone by switching to your zoom lens. Do not pinch to zoom on your screen.
- The small movements and the shallow depth of field will bring extra magic to your shot
- People won’t notice that you are filming them up close, and they will often act more natural
Exercise
