In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses how an anamorphic lens and ND (neutral density) filter can significantly enhance the cinematic quality of phone footage. An anamorphic lens gives photos a cinemascope feel and adds a wide-screen look with slight edge distortion to videos, mimicking Hollywood-style cinematography. The ND filter is crucial for achieving the correct shutter speed, resulting in smoother and more professional footage. The importance of using the Pro Camera app for more manual control, especially for anamorphic shooting, is highlighted over the native iPhone camera app. Additionally, a 58mm lens is recommended for photography to achieve better quality and a unique focal length compared to the built-in 2x zoom of the iPhone, which is digital and lower quality. The speaker shows a comparison of photos taken with the 58mm lens mounted on the iPhone 14.
