The Material
We had to come up with an idea that involved the techniques shot reverse shot, match on action and the 180 degree rule. My group and I created a video sequence of such, showing a person walking into a room, greeting their friend and then walking across the room to sit down next to them.
The File Format and Using the Online Converter
The file format that clips were in were .MTS, but I was able to work with that in Windows Movie Maker because that file format and pretty much every other file format apart from WMV isn't compatible with the program. So I had to go online to find a converter that was able to change the format from .MTS to .WMV. This wasn't very hard to find, and the process took about ten minutes altogether since each clip wasn't too long. To use the converter, I used these simple steps:
1. Clicked on 'browse' and selected the video clips I wished to convert.
2. Then, simply clicking convert the clip was converted to the WMV format in a matter of seconds.
3. After it was converted, the video clip now a WMV was automatically downloaded to my hard drive.
Uploading the Files to Windows Movie Maker and Editing
Uploading the files was also very easy. I simply clicked on the option 'import video' and selected all the clips that I wanted to import. The files then loaded into the program and showed up in the location 'collections.' Once they were loaded into the program, I began to edit the clips together. I found this to be quite an easy task since I am very familiar with editing and skills via editing. I only had to use the splitting tool to cut the pauses we took in between shooting. This was the only editing tool I used and this was so I was able to create continuity between each clip.
Creating the 180 Degree Rule, Shot Reverse Shot and the Action Match Shot
After getting feedback from the class, my group and I were told that we had gotten the shot reverse shot and action match shot spot on, and the editing showed that greatly. However, the 180 degree rule wasn't applied correctly, and so it maybe would have confused some a real audience. From this feedback I'll be looking at how to follow the 180 degree rule successfully.
The Result:
