Working Weekend - Shot on LG G6

When challenged to shoot a short film entirely on a smartphone I wanted to try and create something that still looked of a very high quality (so it didn't look like it was filmed on a smartphone).

I had multiple ideas for cinematic style films of wildlife or scenery but unfortunately the weather and zoom on the phone let me down with this. I also wanted to create something with a storyline as this would make the video a much more interesting watch.

Eventually I decided on a short film about a weekend day of my life. I chose this because it allowed me to introduce a mini storyline but also gave me the freedom to film some  more cinematic shots on the journey that would test the capability of the phone.

I filmed the whole video on the LG G6 smartphone in Full HD then edited it with some music in Final Cut Pro:




Overall I was relatively pleased with the outcome, most of the shots look good in the film and I believe the music worked well with the atmosphere in the film. I would like to include some narrative and different camera/post production effects in future films to help create a more interesting and complex storyline.
