Film Clip Practice

these are some of the clips that we got when we were doing practice shots so we could see what shot work and the other shot that needed to be improved

Next-Office Scenes

Through the editing we were able to see what shots we need to redo and what other shots we can get;

Side angle of writer

Over shoulder shot

Yawning, Closing laptop, Leaving the room

Tapping Finger Slowly

Pause to Think

2nd Idea

2nd idea

Second Idea

We have decided that instead of use the burglar idea as it became too complex and we realized that working with children was not something we could do to achieve a high enough standard of our film. so for our second idea we have deiced that we will that the story on an author. A writer will be writing a horror story and as she write the story we watch it come to life. We will know this as at the end we will see her read a newspaper where the headline is the death that she wrote.

First Idea

Our first idea was to do a short story about a child, who's house gets broken into. the burglar would creep around the house and the child would find a away of sneaking out of the house and running to their neighbors to call the police. The police then would find the mother tied up and there would be a massive plot twist about who the burglar actually was. 

However we didn't know how we would work children to get the right reaction or they would be able to give use the correct type of atmosphere
