  • OpenShot (Windows, Mac, Linux): Download here.
  • VideoPad (Windows, Mac): Download here.
  • iMovie (Mac): Download here

Here are some suggested ideas and concepts you can consider for inspiring your creative inner filmmaker:

• Pick a genre. For example, science fiction, fantasy, comedy, horror, action, drama, film noir, romance, etcetera.
• You're not limited to a conventional film. Perhaps, you have an idea for a commercial. Or even a music video. Or an exciting opening title sequence intro to an imaginary TV series. Or how about an abstract experimental 1-minute film? Anything goes! Be creative!
