First up, let’s play with simple video-making app InShot. 

TASK 1

1. Download InShot (free) for Android or iOS. 
2. Think about a really simple story you can make in just a few shots. An example is a how-to video – e.g. how to make a soft-boiled egg. You could also introduce us to yourself, a pet, or family member. 
3. Remember: keep it simple. We’re just trying out the app 😘
