Apple released a short film on its official website in Taiwan: “Daughter” shot with iPhone 11 Pro, starring Chinese film queen Zhou Xun, and directed by 2017 Academy Award-nominated film director “Theodore Melfi”. In addition to the approximately 8-minute short film, it also released about 3 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage.
The short film “Daughter” shot on iPhone 11 Pro was released on Apple’s official website
The micro-movie “Daughters” stars Zhou Xun and is directed by 2017 Academy Award-nominated film director “Theodore Melfi”; shot by 2020 Golden Globe-nominated film director of photography Lawrence Sher. “Daughters”, which depicts the reunion of three generations of women during the Spring Festival, was shot with iPhone 11 Pro, giving both the director and actors a new experience.
In the behind-the-scenes video, the iPhone 11 Pro can be seen mounted on an aerial camera, on a car roof, on a windshield or even in a locker, shooting in a variety of ways anytime and anywhere. This also led Melfi to believe that a good story that touches people’s hearts resonates culturally and emotionally, and the iPhone 11 Pro, as a storytelling artifact, allows people to discover more possibilities; for Zhou Xun, freedom and cinematic sense are integrated.
Schaal mentioned how he used the built-in functions of iPhone 11 Pro to present the scene, such as using the excellent dynamic performance of the ultra-wide-angle camera. In one scene, he could even take one shot to the end, and the character’s movements could still be completed in one go without editing.
However, after watching the film, many people should want to know whether they can shoot such a story if they pick up the iPhone 11 Pro. Basically, it is possible to use iPhone 11 Pro as the main tool for shooting, but the behind-the-scenes video also mentioned that this requires additional equipment and software, not to mention the experience of the cameraman and director will also have a lot of impact.
Although “Daughter” was shot with iPhone 11 Pro, it still needs additional software and equipment, but as mentioned in the film, iPhone 11 Pro brings the possibility of storytelling and makes people feel the infinite possibilities of technological advancement.
