Chapter 2. Movie-Making Basics > Movie-Making Tips for Home Videos

Movie-Making Tips for Home Videos

Editing isn’t only technical, it’s artistic as well. And although you can spend four years getting a degree learning all there is to know about filmmaking and editing theory, the basics of what makes a good movie are simple.

Most movies you see in the theater are narratives; they tell a story with a beginning, middle, and end. Other movies are documentaries. They, too, tell a story, but it’s fact based. The movies you make in iMovie could be either of these, but they could be neither as well.
