\"\"It’s time for an App Giveaway! \u00a0Hooray!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to app developer AMMAa AG<\/a>, we’re giving away 6<\/span>\u00a0copies their\u00a0filmmaking reference guide,\u00a0The Close-Up Film Language Glossary<\/a>\u00a0($2.99). This iPhone & iPad friendly app is perfect\u00a0for\u00a0up-and-coming filmmakers looking to beef up their movie making vocabulary. \u00a0Giveaway details are below.<\/em><\/p>\n

The app contains an array of terms, descriptions and definitions, all organized in an easy to navigate alphabetical list. \u00a0A search box is also provided, but I found its usefulness slightly limited since users can only search the terms, and not their definitions.\u00a0There were a couple terms I didn’t find in the Glossary (i.e. Snap Zoom<\/em>), but for the most part, it’s a very impressive collection.\u00a0Since the information is self-contained within the app (and is not being pulled from the internet), you won’t need a network connection to review the data. \u00a0As with most reference apps, you can easily mark favorites for quick access.<\/p>\n


\nAside from the Glossary, the app also features what it calls Markers<\/em>. \u00a0They are collections of small icons that visually convey complex information. \u00a0For instance, if you want to quickly get a sense of different camera angles, just review the camera angle markers. \u00a0I imagine these will be VERY useful to new filmmakers.<\/p>\n

There’s nothing revolutionary here. In fact, most of the information in this app can be found in other places\u00a0(for free in some cases). \u00a0That said,\u00a0the Close-Up Film Language Glossary<\/a>\u00a0does a very nice job of bringing it all together, and making it easy to understand. \u00a0Think of it as film school, without all the goth girls dressed in black, listening to the Dead Kennedys<\/a><\/em>. \u00a0I miss film school.<\/p>\n

GIVEAWAY DETAILS:<\/strong><\/p>\n
