13 top movie-making apps for iPhone and iPad

The concept of making movies covers an incredibly wide spectrum. It doesn't matter if you're doing holiday films with the family or working behind the scenes on a multi-million dollar mega-hit – your iOS device can be a major help.

Though you're unlikely to see Christopher Nolan's next film shot on an iPhone, there's a real chance you might see something at a film festival taken on a 5S, or a local documentary uploaded to sites like YouTube. If you're just filming something that's happening around you, the Camera app and iMovie might be all you need to turn it into a great little video.

Jim McCauley

Jim McCauley is a writer, performer and cat-wrangler who started writing professionally way back in 1995 on PC Format magazine, and has been covering technology-related subjects ever since, whether it's hardware, software or videogames. A chance call in 2005 led to Jim taking charge of Computer Arts' website and developing an interest in the world of graphic design, and eventually led to a move over to the freshly-launched Creative Bloq in 2012. Jim now works as a freelance writer for sites including Creative Bloq, T3 and PetsRadar, specialising in design, technology, wellness and cats, while doing the occasional pantomime and street performance in Bath and designing posters for a local drama group on the side.
