We will be using iMovie to make our films. iMovie is a free app made by Apple that is available on an iPad.
iMovie on the iPad is great as you can use the camera on the iPad capture footage directly in to iMovie. You don't need any syncing cables or extra equipment.
If you do not have iMovie in your iPad device already you can download it here...
