The montage in it's entirety was compiled from over 20 different videos that I found on the internet in Windows Movie Maker. This programme alone proved one of the biggest challenges of the project as WMM is extremely fussy with accepted file types and extremely limited with altercation options. Nevertheless I downloaded a video converter and converted each clip into .wmv format that was acceptable within the programme and began editing them together.
All the clips are from the 2008 Beijing Olympics as in my opinion, it was the most spectacular Olympic event to date. It is also the most recent so certain clips where athletes can be recognised will evoke more present knowledge and understanding of the subject matter.
The editing style is slightly different to what I have done throughout the duration of the rest of the project, i wanted to build energy and excitement in this montage so I kept the clip lengths very short (roughly 0.5-1.5 seconds max) This kept the pace of the scene up and (I hope) gave the viewer an insight to the kind of thought the subject (me) has about the Olympics as an event and as a life choice.
