A tripod is worth considering too to help stabilise your video -- essential if you want to take time-lapse sequences of clouds passing overheard. Again, Manfrotto has a great little one, called the Pixi (pictured above) that can slip into a backpack unnoticed and costs only £18 ($25), or you could go for the Joby GorillaPod, with its endlessly-bendable legs (£15, $17, AU$22). Finally, make sure you take an external battery pack with you, such as the Mophie JuicePack Duo -- shooting video all day will drain your battery fast, so you'll want to have a backup on hand.

The standard iOS camera app is great for quick shooting when you're out and about as its simple interface means you don't need to waste any time choosing settings -- just hit record and you're off, If you want sushi yoga iphone case to get a bit more creative while you're shooting, Filmic Pro (£5.99, $7.99, AU$9.99) provides manual control of exposure, focus and flash, while apps like 8MM (£1.49, $1.99, AU$2.49) allow you to shoot with vintage-style filters, One app I strongly recommend is Hyperlapse from Instagram, It's free, and lets you create stabilised time-lapse videos extremely easily, without having to set up tripods, The stabilisation also allows you to smoothly pan across a scene, with any shaking from your hand automatically smoothed out..

Vary your shots by experimenting with different angles when filming. Try kneeling down and shooting upwards, getting up a tall building to shoot wide cityscapes, or use a wall or railing as a leading line, to draw the eye into the scene. When something catches your eye, fire up the camera and get it on record. The more interesting clips you have, the better your final film will be. It's important to keep your clips short, however -- around 4 to 10 seconds each. While 20 seconds looking at one scene may not seem all that long when you're filming, when you watch it back it can seem like an eternity, particularly when it's viewed alongside multiple long clips in a video. Shorter clips are also much easier to edit, too, as you won't need to hunt through a several-minute video file to find the few seconds in the middle that are actually interesting.

Last but not least, you'll need to combine all your clips into one video, The iPad is the best device to use for editing as its larger screen sushi yoga iphone case makes moving clips around, applying filters and such much easier than on a smaller phone, I recommend shooting your clips on your iPhone, then transferring your files to your iPad -- a simple task if you use Airdrop, or have it do it automatically using iCloud, The easiest way to edit your clips into one film is with iOS apps like Replay or Magisto (both free, and Magisto is also available on Android) which automatically splice together your chosen clips, together with effects and soundtracks, If you want to avoid the nitty gritty of editing and just share your holiday film on Facebook, these are great apps to consider..

If you want to get a little more involved, then iMovie on the iPad is where you should look. You can import your video clips one by one, easily slice out any parts you don't want, choose different transitions between clips and add soundtracks from your own library of music or from the built-in themes. When editing, it's wise to consider the timeline of events throughout your trip. If you're making a video diary, for example, you'll want to make sure that the clips of your arrival at your destination are at the beginning. You can experiment with filters too, to add a moody black and white look to stormy skies, and iMovie also allows you to record a voiceover for those scenes where you really want to explain what's going on. iMovie is available on the iPhone, too, but the bigger screen of the iPad does make it much easier to see what's going on.
