In this video I demo how focal length affect the cinematic tone and mood of a shot. All footage was captured with an iPhone using the Blackmagic camera app and Apple log. The lenses used are the ReeFlex 2x telephoto, wide angle and 1.33x anamorphic. And note, I added the 2.35:1 letterbox to all the shots in post-production.
