The shift to mobile editing<\/b><\/h2>\n

Filmmaking is a continuously evolving craft. We are more and more exposed to videos every day, making film grammar change and making it possible to tell stories in new ways. Sometimes, creators break the rules and establish a new way to shoot (Tarantino in the 90s, for example). Sometimes, technology plays its role, and new tools make new narratives and ways to tell stories possible.<\/p>\n

We have lived maybe the most significant change in the industry in recent years. 20 years ago, the main audiovisual event of the year was The Lord of the Rings<\/i> saga. Today we’re in the world of TikTok, where users watch hundreds of videos every day and don’t remember what they watched yesterday.<\/p>\n

Filmmakers’ profiles have also changed with the release of smaller cameras, portable gear and the spread of knowledge through the internet. Also, we have new channels to publish our stuff. Before, you could only release a film in a movie theatre or a TV channel, paying a lot of money, and now you can choose the platform where you publish your creations. And if your video is engaging, millions of people will watch it.<\/p>\n

The last obvious thing related to gear and technology is the advent of a generation of smartphones that allow filming and editing. In 2022, with a bit of skill, you can produce videos with a tool you have with you all the time. So whether you have the last iPhone, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, or a more affordable smartphone, you can shoot and<\/b> edit your videos with it.<\/p>\n\t\t

The most conservative minds in the industry think this is bad news because of a decrease in the overall quality of the videos produced. However, we see it in another way. This change gives all the people the opportunity to create and learn the craft without spending a fortune. Today, if you are a professional filmmaker or a teenager filming a joke at your home, you need to know about all the areas of the craft. Professionals in the past were more specialized in their department. You would need a whole crew to produce a video. Now, you can make your movie with your smartphone.<\/p>\n

Of course, there are external apps for every step of film production. Script<\/a>, organization, storyboard<\/a>… you name it. However, you have built-in tools for shooting and editing on your phone. Let’s look at how to edit videos on Android and Apple’s systems.<\/p>\n

Whether you use iPhone or Android, you have built-in apps to make basic edits, put together your videos and publish them straight away.<\/p>\n

How to edit videos on Android\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you have an Android Smartphone, you can use the gallery app to do basic edits. So if you open a video, you will see a toolbar with the following options:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • You can edit the in and out points.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \"mobile<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Crop<\/li>\n
    • Add filters<\/li>\n
    • Adjust the image by changing the brightness, saturation, highlights, sharpness, etc.<\/li>\n
    • You can also draw on the video and add text and stickers to give them the final touch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      This is how it looks:<\/p>\n
