In the final section of this module, the topic of discussion is lighting. While more details about lighting will be covered in another module, this section focuses on what can and cannot be done with smartphones in terms of lighting. When shooting outdoors, natural daylight is ideal, but strong sunlight should be avoided. Shooting at night is possible, but it can introduce noise in the dark areas of the scene. Artificial lighting can be introduced for indoor shots, using heads that can be mounted onto camera rigs or lighting stands, or even brackets that can be attached to tripods for smartphone devices.

When shooting static, steady shots, no movement is necessary, but if movement is required, a gimbal is recommended. A gimbal allows for hand-held filming with steady footage, providing the freedom to film from different angles and positions. Gimbals can pan left or right, tilt up and down, and even follow subjects. Operating the device in auto-setting will keep subjects in focus. Overall, it is worth investing in a gimbal for steady footage and experimenting with different camera angles and positions.
