5. What do you think as the merits and shortcomings in mobile film making ?
There is a long list of advantages that go along with shooting on a mobile phone. For one, now anyone with a phone can shoot a film. The only thing stopping you, is you! The camera is also able to shoot in locations that were before restricted by how large and bulky the camera was, with a phone; any room is now a set for your film. This gives the films a sense of unpredictability and spontaneity because we can now almost literally go anywhere. For the most part, the images will be too grainy if shot from too far away, so the subjects are kept close to the camera. Many people like the effect, this has on the film as it makes it seem more intimate and engaging.
