However, there are indeed a number of features that he thinks really help him to make excellent cinematic works. These features are in the latest Galaxy Note 20. Yandy also provides tips on what he uses and is paid attention to when creators are serious about making short films using cellphones.
New Sound Recording Technology
An interesting feature of the Galaxy Note 20, according to Yandy, is its ability to be able to record sound according to which is very different from other flagship phones. Because the Note 20 is able to record sound from the front, back, Omni (overall), and even uses the Galaxy Buds Live as a microphone to record sound using Bluetooth. He used this feature when making a short film with Dian Sastrowardoyo.
Pro Video
–Pro Tuning is a must-have feature for a director when shooting a film. Because, he must be able and should be free to adjust the image that really suits his wishes. Including about focus, white balance, aperture, and others. And on the Galaxy Note 20 it gets that discretion.
Mengatur Manual White Balance
Yandy Laurens’ favorite feature when using the Galaxy Note 20 to make short films is the white balance setting that can be adjusted manually, a template from an existing profile.
White balace is a white color calibration that aims to remove unreal colors. So that white objects will still look white.
With this manual white balance adjustment, Yandy can avoid yellow, bluish, or purplish video displays due to light sources. But really can adjust his wishes.
8K resolution
–To get optimal quality, Yandy admitted that he chose 8K resolution. The reason is simple, the bigger the resolution, the more information that can be recorded. “Dynamic range (parameter of light intensity darkest to brightest) can be very wide. So when editing, I find it easier to color grading, “he said. Just keep in mind that 8K files are very wasteful, because every 10 seconds consumes 100 MB.
Zooming feature
Yandy, including the director who likes shooting with smooth zooming. Apparently, according to him, this can be done on the Galaxy Note 20. “Because apparently the zoom bar can adjust to my thumbs’ wishes. So that the response will be very smooth, “he said.

Fast Charging
A 4,500 mAh battery with 25 watt fast charging turned out to be very important for Yandy when making short films. Because, in one shoot the time it takes can be more than 4 hours. “The smartphone records continuously, so the power consumption is very high,” said Yandy. Therefore, fast charging the Galaxy Note 20 which takes 30 minutes to reach 50 percent, is very helpful during the shooting process.
Experiment with 120 FPS
As well as using 8K resolution, Yandy also encourages new creators or filmmakers to experiment a lot. One of them is by utilizing the Full HD resolution with 120 FPS on the Galaxy Note 20. “The result is an image that remains detailed and smooth in slow motion,” he said.
