You can literally see the stabilizer having trouble on the far right with the blue horn thing :rip:

 

This is how my videos look like, not a Lady Gaga video should look :air:

Im a film student and sorry, even with the 1st teaser I knew something was up. The way her face kinda...deforms/distorts as the camera panes from side to side???? Ma’am come on. And I know it wasnt just me cause some other users said her head was too big. Then I thought the color saturation and crappy CGI were a stylistic choice, but now im doubting wether those are the limitations the iphone imposed while shooting the video. If she was gonna go for a full on story with this music shoot, she should’ve done it with profesional cameras and save the apple partnership for a more toned down less complex dance MV like LAHN or LYTLM (ya’ll keep saying those two look amazing without realizing how incredibly simple they are in terms of production...smh)

This sums it all up, thank you!

Also the lack of depth of field...

The only good thing about this is that Apple iphone partnerships have been consistently coming in pairs. That being said we might get a new video and song on 3/2 like it was predicted

Everything is sharp, so it lacks depth and looks flat.

You can try this with your phone and put something really close to it, then it focuses on the object and the rest gets blurry - your picture now has depth to it.

That is way easier to produce with bigger sensors and lenses in bigger cameras (like your Nikons, Canons, or cinema cameras).

Not only can that tell the viewer what is actually important in the frame, it can make it look more professional as well.

Don't let this amazing ride ruined by people with sticks in their ass. If you really want to do something about it just throw some (stupid) love and positivity to them. When all goodies leave this place is gonna be even more toxic. 

We, the people that do enjoy and believe, should bundle our powers because together we can bring light to the shadow when needed.

I'm trying to say, that mistakes like these happen to me, a far from professional "aspiring" filmmaker. They should not happen to someone the caliber of Gaga. Especially for the lead video.

 by definition: the zone of acceptable sharpness within a photo that will appear in focus. In every picture there is a certain area of your image in front of, and behind the subject that will appear in focus.

Simply, when you have a subject on a frame, there will be objects behind and in front of it (background and foreground) which may or may not be out of focus. The more depth of field, the more focus will both objects in front and behind the main subject will receive. If the objects in the foreground and background are sharp, they steal visual attention from the actual subject that its being photograph. it makes the frame look flat. 

 Lets say you are standing in for a picture and there is a tree behind you. If I set up my camera to have a lot of depth of field, then that tree behind you will be in full focus and sharpened, thus competing with you for the attention of the photograph. If I set the camera to have only a few meters of depth of focus, the tree will appear blurry, and you will appear accentuated within the frame. The blurriness will make the viewer sense that there is an actual distance between you and the tree, thus diving the frame some "depth"

If you see the teasers, they both have a lot of depth of field, making the background and mountains too foused. Iphones do not have the capacity to change their depth of field as they are not made to do that. Not even cameras can. You have to buy separate adjustable lenses to change the depth of field. This is why some members argue that no matter how much iphone technology has come along, they will NEVER be able to replicate a profesional film camera

Someone with the caliber of Gaga has seen the teasers a dozen of times before she post them.Together with her team, management and label. The so called 'mistakes' are noticed for sure. But they didn't decide to remove them so I wouldn't call them mistakes but choices.

She made some choices you maybe don't like or prefer, but that don't make them mistakes.
