Since I teach a video production class, this site is great in that I can select older movie clips as well as newer releases to show my class when we discuss different aspects of production from shot types, lighting, sound and characterization.
It is also a great site for some ILA/English classes as it can also help add some dimension in talking about scriptwriting and how books become, scripts, becoming movies, even how certain movies were based on or are adaptations of books.
Media Converter is another great site that I use in class. This site allows me to find videos used on the web and convert them to a source I can use in class. It can also convert audio files as well. It is a very simple drag and drop interface which also allows you to copy & paste web addresses as well as search for the site directly from the interface. You can even just take the audio source from a video. How many times have you seen a commercial, but just wanted the audio? You can do that here.
The site is very user friendly and if anyone has ever wanted to use clips from YouTube or other sites online that embed video, Media Converter is a great site to become familiar with.
