Process and reflection of using Window movie maker



For my short clip to show continuity the material that has been used were: cam recorders, characters, a short script or mind map of what is going on in the scene, Windows Movie Maker.

The file format of the film was originally mp4 therefore we had to change the file format to WMV which will enable me to use the files on Window Movie Maker. We did this by going on this website - (http://video.online-convert.com/convert-to-wmv), which will convert the file into the format that is needed to work in Window movie maker. 

After changing the format of all the file and downloading them I then went onto Windows Movie Maker. I uploaded all the videos that we have took during the shoot. I then look at all the video clips and got rid of any that aren't needed in the actual video. I then put them in chronological order. The next step was to edit the video so that any bits in-between the videos for examples pauses and audio voice like 'action' is cut out. 

After spending sometime cutting and editing the footage I re-watched it a few times and had others say their opinion on what to improve on it. In this short clip that I have created I try to show shot-reverse-shot, 180 degree shot and match on action. 


In the film that I have created I have created a match on action, short-reverse-shot. 180 degrees shot could definitely be improved on as we have crossed over the imaginary line. 

For improvements I can retake the scene to show a better continuity editing as it is not as smooth in the film we can see.
