      Yep, the title said it all XD We kept having all these great ideas to make a skit, but we didn’t want our faces online, soooo– we got desperate creative!

      Does anyone know of any great free movie-making apps? I would be super grateful for any other advice you could throw out there too!! <3

      (Psst, our channel is called SuperSocks Cinema!)

        Sure thing! I love making music videos, stop motion films, and mini-movies. The one I remember specifically right now is the one me and my brother made of a war scene. Which was basically making a small hut, setting up his soldiers (the small green plastic ones), and after setting up the cameras, we used small firecrackers as a grenade. You know, I might share it here if I can find it XD…

        But that’s all off-topic XD so depending on what brand your device is will definitely alter the type, performance, and app allowance of the movie-making app you choose.
        If you don’t mind me asking, what brand is your device?

              That sounds amazing XD I would love to see that if you can find it!

              Android. I have a Chromebook laptop that we might use for editing, and then an Android phone for the actual filming. We also have a video camera. Thank you for your help!! And I would be very grateful for any pointers you can offer as well <3

                        Hello! Sorry for the late response. So I did a little trial and error and you said you have a Android Chromebook? I’d check out PowerDirector. It’s simple, but effective and that can be difficult to find in Androids.
                        Anyways, a tidbit of advice is to pay attention to basic/fundamental three aspects of photography (and videography) and those are

                        1#Lighting. Lighting is an awesome tool, tricky, but awesome. Different lighting can create different moods and different compositions. For instance, a dimmed light can either be terrifying or sleepy. Bright light creates more energy and in a more fun sense, if you flick a light switch on and off repeatedly, you get a lightning effect:) But if you want a daytime look, natural light is always best.

                        2#Perspective. This is where your camera is placed and which viewpoint you want to capture. This is fun because you can change POVs and adjust the height of things. Say you have a small character, then you’d naturally lower the camera to his view. The most classic is the most obvious of course, the POV of the camera.

                        3# Composition. This is how you’ll want your video to look. How you arrange things, the style of your masterpieces. This is where you pull in every element to create the film you want. The composition in the Narnia movie, The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe. Mr. Tumnus’s home’s composition is warm, earth-toned and magical. The little objects and and strange relics of Narnia added to the overall ancient and foreign composition.

                        And though these two tools aren’t in the fundamentals category, they enhance quality immensely. Background and props. Always be aware of the background, for I believe that it is the unspoken make or break element to filming. And props, those are left to the imagination and composition you want to acquire.

                        Either than that, I recommend having complete and total fun with videography. If the film gets a little messed up, that’s why retakes were invented:)

                        I think it’s awesome that your making a channel. If you can, be sure and let me know when you post your first video:)
