Practice Robber Scene

We have produced some practice shots for the 'Break in' scene. This scene took place in my house and we felt as though we needed to see exactly how the camera angles we have planned would be affected by the location, and whether they would still work effectively.
Sam would be playing the role of the thief, but as he was unavailable we decided to use Gareth instead as the shots were not focused upon acting roles but rather developing the camera angles and movements of the scene. This was unfortunate as it meant that Sam missed out on some possible practice but we could overcome this by spending more time on the scene during the actual filming.
Although this is a very unpolished draft of the scene, we decided to edit it to test some of the effects and transitions that we have planned. This included a to-black-and-white snapshot of a scene, in which writing appears, and the last scene where we use a crossover effect to speed up the shot and also to suggest that some time has passed.
Whilst part of the first scene, the very beggining of the scene will have a 'sweep' shot as the theif breaks into the front door. Due to already having practiced this sweep, and time restraints, we decided not to practice this part of the scene to focus on the part that needed further development.
Here is the Practice Scene which is edited but not completed: LINK
