Make a Movie Trailer with iMovie

Just for fun, consider making a movie from snippets of videos you have captured on your iPhone. You might remember that the iMovie app is included on your Apple devices - both mobile and computer. 

Telling a story with video clips can be daunting. Or not! You will impress your family and friends when you show them your movie trailer. iMovie has many recipes to guide you through this production. Select any of the trailer options to see a preview, see the cast member suggestions and hear the music soundtrack.  The finished product will be under 90 seconds long! Open one with the Create button for a detailed view of the Outline, Storyboard and Shot List. Edit the Outline text fields then see those changed reflected in the Storyboard. The Shot List shows how many Action, Group Medium, Wide and Two Shot clips needed and their length. 

Look at your Photos > Videos to see if you have content already recorded. Make a cup of tea and get comfortable. Play with the options presented. Discover and make edits. Then consider shooting new video and trailer to share with friends.
