I have been toying with the idea of using a mobile device such as a phone, iPod etc. to film some scenes with in order to fully convey the modern tone of the genre through the video. I decided to practice with an old unused phone that is capable of shooting in HD. However, I was very adamant that the shots themselves had to be steady enough to look professional whilst still appearing as though no mounts have been used.
In order to test how steady the shots could be, I spent some of my own time practice by recording different angles whilst walking around both at home and at school. The problem I encountered when doing so at school was that people often walked in shot meaning that I often had to delete the videos after viewing them as I couldn't use people in my evidence without consent.
I also attempted the same with my regular phone that I use day to day. However, I was unhappy with the lower quality and the memory filled rapidly.
In the end we decided against using mobile devices to record in order to achieve a fully professional look.
