So, let's get started...

Things to focus on first

While taking shots you need to focus on a few things like clothing, accessories, or even the way you move. You need to be more specific on your topic by focusing on them. 

Also, take the shadows as they look cute. Use iPhone's Cinematic Mode to make your Video Montage. The cinematic mode works best when there is a little distance. Set automatic focus tracking by tapping on the face or object. Tap to shift focus between people or objects. You can also have your subject move into the frame to activate focus tracking.

This will keep you focused as you are doing a movement.

Now take shots from different angles.
