Hi All,
We are introducing iPads for our Year 7s this year… does anyone have any awesome favourite apps they could share with us?
We want to be able to use it for annotation/ response tasks, as well as any nifty practical apps?
Kind regards,
Holly Malpas
Hey Holly,
FiLMiC Pro is great for teaching kids how to adjust the exposure triangle and play with depth of field along with achieving particular film looks whilst filming.
Action Movie is a JJ Abrams app which is just kind of fun with some high-end special effects you can place into your filming - teaches the kids the importance of composition and planning out shots to fit particular effects.
Horizon is a good app for creating a smoother motion when doing hand-held filming - this essentially serves as a gimbal for filming. You can create that really cool Sam Raimi Evil Dead camera movement.
Video Manager is good for downloading videos from any website if students need to download and re-edit footage for say a news story or something else.
For annotations, there are several options:
iMovie can allow you to edit and annotate videos.
Then you can also use iMark and Annotable which both allow you to annotate video and images - you can also add emoji's if you want your kids to express themselves and communicate with emojis.
Notability is just a good general all-round annotation app but I haven't known it to annotate videos.
Hopefully these are of some help.
Gooch!
Bandlab for music is awesome and works on phones, tablets, computers. You can plug in midi keyboards into any of these devices as well.
