How to get the best smartphone footage quality from your employees

by | Aug 5, 2024

At Feedback Films, we understand how challenging it can be to get good footage from your employees.

You’ve asked them to record a piece to camera and when you receive the footage it is, let’s say “not what you were expecting”. Commons problems are:

  • Bad Framing: The contributor is either lost in the frame, or too close to the camera and their head is cropped out.
  • Poor Sound Quality: Background noise or if the phone’s mic is obstructed can really affect the audio quality. It will make it hard to understand and be really distracting for the viewers.
  • Lighting Issues: Bad lighting or using the wrong settings on the phone can result in footage that is too dark or too bright.
  • Dirty Lens: Even a few tiny specks of dirt on the lens can affect the video quality.

These common issues can make the footage unusable and waste valuable time having to ask your employees to re-record it.
