Horizontal Filming
This may seem simple, but many beginner videographers hold their phone exactly as they would when shooting still photos — and switch from vertical to horizontal depending on what the subject matter calls for.

Steady Shots
For stable shots, use a tripod to reduce shakiness, although for moving shots, consider using a dolly, which is a small, wheeled platform meant for holding cameras while shooting
Shot List
Consider making a list of the types of shots you want to capture while filming — include some moving shots, but keep in mind that too much movement can be a bad thing.
Key Points
- Always film horizontally.
- Use a tripod or dolly for increased stability.
