Practice Shot

Practice Shots/Appearing and Disappearing

To make our final scene tense and shocking we will make the wife appear and disappear in the room behind the husband. To have an accurate shot when filming for the opening sequence we had to practice it at Lydia's house before we officially filmed anything. We had to do it twice so that we could learn the skills we needed to perform this camera  trick. Whilst editing we also made sure that the shots did not appear to jump from one to another because otherwise it would be very noticeable to the audience that both parts were filmed separately. We ensured to include lag time on either side of filming the scene so that during editing we could cut the footage to the length we needed and made sure there was a smooth transition between both shots. 

Filming this practice shot took place in Lydia's house. This helped us a lot because the room was in fact the room we are using to film the actual scene. We got used to the spacing and camera positions that we were able and unable to use.
