What are you filming with? If you are filming with another android phone you could get the "Open Camera" app from F-droid so you can lock the focus, exposure and light balance on the point of the object - that way the phone you are filming will get in focus with good colors and less bloom.

What I dislike about Gnome Shell, is that it doesn't really try to innovate and fix problems we have in current UIs. See, Android and iOS started when phones were a lot smaller and single handed use was no problem. Therefore you were able to put the UI elements basically anywhere you want. But nowadays we have so big phones and for example having the status bar etc on top is imo a big flaw, that they could have improved on. But to me it basically looks like a copy of iOS and Android without a unique or improved touch.
