Mobile Filming in Cologne: Creatively and professionally film with your smartphone

How does a spontaneous smartphone video become a deliberately designed film scene? The free Makerspace workshop Mobile Filming shows young people and adults how to use their smartphone camera purposefully and develop aesthetically convincing films from everyday recordings.

More than just pointing and shooting

The focus is on a technical introduction to the smartphone camera and the free app Open Camera. Participants discover functions that many pre-installed camera apps hardly use, and learn how to deliberately connect image design, perspective, and camera handling.
