Abstract:  The artcle focuses in the analysis of the aesthetics cell pone cameras have acquired which given their capture and sound limitations tend to configure a new  anguage. After revisiing the work of some artists dedicated to the creation of films based in the poor technical characteristic of videos taken with the cell phone, such as Roger Odin, and from the theoretical perspective of authors such as Camille Baker and Alessandro Amaducci a contribution to the electronic and digital media aspects takes form whose usefulness will allow the movies or video creators and students to take elements that can serve in their creation practices.
