A medium shot of Katie as she stops to glance up at the house.

When Katie looks up at the house, the viewer will expect a shot of what she's looking at to follow. Cut-
ting to a character's point of view is a good way to put the viewer in the character's shoes and create some
identification with them. Select and play Scene 2 Slate 6 Take 1 in the Event Browser. This is a short point-
of-view shot of the curtain stirring in the upstairs window. Obviously, the best place to add this in the se-
quence is just after Katie looks up at the house, which is at 35 seconds 23 frames in the Timeline. Place the
playhead at that spot and press Q to add Scene 2 Slate 6 Take 1 as a Connected clip. Select the Connected
clip and press +Option+Down Arrow to overwrite it to the Primary Storyline.
You may be wondering why we didn't simply overwrite Scene 2 Slate 6 Take 1 to the Primary Storyline
without taking the extra step to add it as a Connected clip first. Overwriting the clip directly from the Event
Browser would also replace the audio across the section of the Primary Storyline that we're overwriting. By
adding Scene 2 Slate 6 Take 1 as a Connected clip first and then overwriting it in the Timeline, we can keep
the original audio intact (see Figure 9.16).

Performing an overwrite from the Timeline keeps the original audio in the Primary Storyline intact.
