Seoul, Feb 25 (IANS) Samsung Electronics has held a screening event of "Faith", a short film shot entirely on the latest Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphone, showcasing the device's powerful camera capabilities."Faith" is a 10-minute action thriller movie directed by South-Korean filmmaker Na Hong-jin, known for his work in horror films, including 'The Wailing' (2016), reports Korea JoongAng Daily.The short film was screened at South Korea's Megabox's Dolby Cinema on Wednesday."We ran a number of tests to capture the scenes using the smartphone, trying to understand the camera's performance and features, and the shooting went without difficulties," Hong-jin was quoted as saying.The film was shot in a dark building with only a few light sources, including pale fluorescent lights and a bright muzzle flash.However, even in a low-light setting, the texture of the actor's make-up-covered skin and thin scratches engraved on a metal key was clearly visible on screen, said the report.Moreover, the film's director said that he found the quality of the scenes filmed with the Galaxy smartphone "surprising"."Filmmakers like I wona¿t be able to use a camera's performance as an excuse for the final work, I thought after monitoring the footage," Hong-jin mentioned.The S23 Ultra has a 200-megapixel camera sensor called Isocell HP2, which is a significant improvement over the previous 108 megapixels, and its improved Nightography feature allows for better low-light photography.In 2022, Samsung partnered with Oscar-winning filmmaker Charlie Kaufman to make a short film using the Galaxy S22 Ultra.
