First Try On Basic Continuity Editing-Reflection

Material
We had to use four editing techniques which were 180 degree rule,shot reverse shot, match on action and steady use of camera. While making our short video we had to include these techniques.

File Format 
In order to edit our video's, we had to convert into a wmv so that we could edit the video in windows movie maker. It wasn't a long process as I have converted a video before, however it was a different website.Firstly I had to browse through my files so that I would be able to convert the video, and then I would convert which would only take a few minutes and then I would download the file. It didn't take much time.

Uploading Video's to Windows Movie Maker:
This was a simple process, as all I had to do was search for my video I downloaded, and click on it. I then would drag the video to the timeline, however it took very long as there was many video's. Once the files were uploaded, I edited the video's, and deleted some of the video's that weren't necessary for the clip. I then began to understand how to edit the video's, as it became more easier for me, the video showed basic editing continuity.

Creating an 180 degree rule, match on action, shot reverse shot
It was very hard for me to create an 180 degree rule,as I'm not familiar with this editing technique, same for the match on action. However after seeing a few examples of both, I was able to create this, and I began to be familiar with this. I'm very familiar with the shot reverse shot, as we studied it quite a lot, so we was able to do this.
