Make any footage look cinematic with filters, crop and blur in Edits

"Did you notice when I add this background blur, filter and crop in? This footage looks instantly more cinematic. Now, everyone knows cinematic reels are going viral on Instagram but how do we create that look?

Well, this plays into the filmmaking concepts of depth and composition. See, depth is used to separate the subject from the background and get that cinematic feel and composition is how the shot's framed and where our eyes go.

With Instagram Edits, you don't need a fancy camera to have these effects anymore. Literally, just your phone.

First, open up your clip and add a cool-looking filter.

Then, crop it so the eye line is in the upper thirds. This helps people pay attention more.

Then, select the cut out feature and let Edits do the rest.

Next, click the bottom layer, effects, blur, choose full frame, and set it to 7%.

And with this, literally, any piece of footage can be cinematic."
