Interestingly, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/iphone-15-pro-camera-incredible\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"the LiDAR feature of the iPhone 15 Pro\">the LiDAR feature of the iPhone 15 Pro<\/a> was also used for some of the visual effects that appear in the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it&#8217;s worth noting that<strong> Midnight is not the result of Miike simply showing up with an iPhone 15 Pro in hand<\/strong> and a scribbled shot list on the back of a coaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As shown in the &#8220;making of&#8221; video, <strong>this expensive-looking production had the support of a highly skilled filming team, equipped with cranes, carts, and dollies<\/strong>, as well as a post-production team made up of expert editors and special effects wizards skilled in touching things up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9

exclusively for the iPhone, beyond the usual approach of a movie,&#8221; says Miike in statements collected by The Hollywood Reporter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I really felt that the iPhone has the power to do things that a conventional film camera cannot&#8221;. <strong>The director praised the Action Mode of the iPhone, which allowed him<\/strong> &#8220;to accurately capture the facial expressions of the subjects in a scene dynamically, reflecting their emotions and thoughts at the same time&#8221;, and said he was impressed by how the focus could be adjusted after shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div
