Thank you for the reply.

After reading up some material about shot and cut lengths, yes, I do agree
the early shots were too long. Too long for human attention span.

I thank you for the advise about the security monitors, I will test it out some day.
I am using premiere cs3, but havent come across a TV effect yet.

The overhead shot was indeed quite ruining.

Thank you for honest feedback, I have learned from this.
