Today I downloaded iMovie to the iPads in the library. I now wish I had it on the iPads earlier this year. This app lets you take video clips and turn them into movie trailers and it is fun! I found out about this app through a blended course I am now taking - iPads for the Classroom.
You can choose a template that offers imaginative graphics and music. The template choices are titled Adrenaline, Bollywood, Coming of Age, Expedition, Fairy Tale, Family, iNDIE, Narrative, Retro, Romance, Scary, Superhero, Swashbuckler, and Teen.
In each format you are given an outline and storyboard to guide you through the process. Examples of each can be seen at the iPad advertisement for iMovie. Just click on the link and scroll down 4 photos. The fourth photo is labeled Create Trailers and is an example of the iNDIE trailer. If you click on the arrow to the right of the photo you will see the Storyboard. In the Outline section you fill in the names of your cast, your studio name, and and give the credits (director, etc.)
iMovie also offers a selection to create videos.
This would have been a great app for my students to use for their video project. I look forward to using it for my own videos.
