Whilst doing some research on post production effects using imovie, I came across some interesting footage whereby a short film was shot using only an iphone 4S and some low budget consumer tech from Apple's app store.

This footage inspired me, as it shows that a very high standard, professional looking trailer can be made using just an iphone, and a little creativity (Both of which we have!)





Moreover, on follow up to this I also found a video tutorial from the same user explaining how to create professional looking special effects using the tools provided within the imovie software. Check out the video below.






And one more...



I then found another example of an excellent film made using only an iphone. This video also goes into how the film was made and what additional hardware/software was used such as apps, lighting, tripods and camera lenses. Well worth a watch!



...Anyway, after becoming sidetracked for hours I did eventually find a good post production app for the iphone, but primarily builds on the already impressive display on the iphone.

FiLMiC Pro.



This app features techniques such as 'Double reticle mode' which gives the user two separate adjustable reticles for spot sampling focus and exposure for precision shot set up.







The FilmMiC Pro control bar is thumb based to enable a rock solid grip on the camera. Designed by filmmakers, it provides the best camera UI in the business with perfect access to all camera controls from a fixed, two hand grip position.







ADVANCED FEATURES:
The FiLMiC Pro settings menu offers some features not offered in any other video camera app as well as a host of other useful tools.

Variable Frame Rates (1-25 and 30fps) including both the US (24p) and European (25p) film production standards.
Four Selectable Resolutions (iPhone 4 or 4th Gen iPod Touch).


Framing Guide Overlays (4:3, 16:9, & 2:35.1).
Thirds Guide for composition.

Audio Metering.

Color Bars for Post Production.


Film Production Style Slate for adding info to your clips, syncing dual system audio, and organizing your clips.

Overall, this app seems worth a purchase as it provides professional settings at the low cost of £2.49 and I feel could give our product the edge it needs in order to stand out that little bit more.

I have also included reviews of the app below.
