Shooting video
Editing footage
Picture this scene: The smell of popcorn permeates the room as you and your family congregate to watch the latest Hollywood blockbuster. A motion picture soundtrack swells up. The images on the screen are stunning. And all eyes are fixed on the iPhone.
Okay, here’s the reality check. The iPhone is not going to replace a wall-sized high-definition television as the centerpiece of your home theater, even on the larger 4-inch screen of the iPhone 5. But we want to emphasize that on that glorious widescreen display, as well as the 3 1⁄2-inch displays on older models, watching movies and other videos on the iPhone can be a cinematic delight.
As you discover later in this chapter, you can even shoot your own blockbuster footage. And the iPhone 4S and 5 are capable of capturing video in the top 1,080p high-definition video standard. Let’s get on with the show!
