Geocaching

Film-maker Comments: Filmed on an iPhone 6s and edited on an iPad using iMovie. Sound levels were particularly challenging but I was pleasantly surprised how iMovie allowed a fairly straightforward edit. Filming on a phone when the light levels weren't good also required a reshoot on another day. All special effects and soundtrack music is contained within iMovie.

Using a Smartphone to make a Film

Film-maker Comments:This film includes 6 short films which I have filmed and edited on my iPhone using iMovie as an illustration of what can be achieved with a smart device.  I also recorded some inter film links using my Rode microphone with my iPhone.  In the making of this film I have used some facilities of iMovie that I have not used before.  IMovie has it its limitation but you can achieve more than the basic editing!  Maybe members will be exposed to one or two film clips that they will not particularly relate to but I wanted to show the flexibility of using a smart device in a variety of situations.

Trip through the Doux Valley

Film-maker Comments: The clips for this film were recorded on my iPhone during a river cruise holiday in France in September 2018.  I have edited the clips today in order to produce a film for the Ray Jennings competition in order that the competition will be run on the 3rd March.  Interestingly I tried something new with the film in that I used the "add Voiceover" facility within iMovie and the three voiceovers were easily added using this facility and my Rode Lavalier microphone plugged into the mic input on the phone.
