First draft of key scene 1

From our first filming session we managed to gather quite a lot of different shot types and angles which we uploaded to imovie to edit. We found a few weaknesses such as a few shots that we had missed out or that we needed to incorporate so the film did not cut too suddenly because it created a jumpy effect which didn't show continuity editing. At one point there is a tracking shot which follows the wife to the sink which is a very long take that needs to be separated into quicker shots to show pace and so the audience doesn't get bored. Therefore we wrote another shot list so we could go back and redo parts so the scene would flow and make sense to an audience.  We decided to use the tripod for a couple of shots to ensure there was no shakiness of the camera and we wanted to use a prop, a knife, so the burglar seems victimising and dangerous. From filming this first draft key scene we have realised that putting together a short scene is actually very difficult and takes a lot of thought and organising. For our next key scene we will ensure that we have planned the time and place of our filming so we can meet our actors and actresses and we will try to take a variety of shots to see which fits best.
