How to get a camera capable of shooting in 1080p? How do I get an iPhone for cheap?

I'm super-broke, but I want to start film-making. Films shot on an iphone 4 and 5 have won awards at film festivals.

Problem is, the phone is $600, $400 with a plan

I'm due for a new phone, but how do I get one for cheaper? Even buying used is no help, it's still really *** expensive

My parents are on Verizon

Well they have used iphones at gamestp, and they are only 125 dollars

Buy a camera

"Films shot on an iphone 4 and 5 have won awards at film festivals."
True, but they didn't win *because* they were made with iPhones. If you can't afford something with 1080p (and trust me, you don't *need* it) then get the best you can afford and be creative. Film making is a creative art so treat it as one - it's not a case of the best spec sheet wins!

  • Why is there no option for 1080p on YouTube on my iphone 5s? - 1 There's no option for 1080p on my iphone 5s in the YouTube app. There used to be the option on my iPad air but it has since disappeared and the highest I can get is 720p.
  • Why is apples iphone display not 1080P yet? The good android phones that cost more then the mid range phones have 1440p 1080p displays yet apples is slowing catching up to that when android been doing it for awhile? Iphone 6s plus is the is one of the iphones to have a 1080p display but that phone came out in 2016 why i say slowing catching up to full HD lol
  • Why doesn't the iPhone 6 have 1080p resolution? Ever since 2013 all flagship phones have 1080p resolution or above. Why is the iPhone 6 an exception?
  • Shooting Panoramas with Monopod? I know very little about shooting panoramas. In fact, I've only shot panoramas on my iPhone. Here's my question: I'm going to Israel this year and want to shoot some panoramas. I have a Canon rebel t1i. I can't afford to bring a tripod, because I need something compact and inexpensive that can fit in my side bag. I find that Velbon's ultrastick L50 fits this description. But now the question remains, can a monopod (with a rotating head) take decent panoramas?
