   Initial problem: When we were capturing our
    footage, we noticed that the wind was greatly
    interfering with the sound levels on the
    camera.
   Encountered: General sound adjustments
    were made such as key framing the affected
    footage and decreasing the sound of the
    wind, replacing it with the voiceover.
   Effect: This provided a fairly rapid and simple
    resolving of our problem by adjusting the
    sound levels.
   Initial problem: We wanted a sense of enigma and
    members of the group were not available to
    capture footage at night time and this meant that
    we could not achieve the sense of enigma as well
    as we had planned (enigma created in darkness).
   Encountered: We edited the video, making the
    alleyway (venue of the deal) a lot darker and
    slightly blurred to add a subjective daze which
    will be within the character’s experience of
    events.
   Effect: This was also another rapid and not too
    complex adjustment.
   Initial problem: The walking scene leading up to the
    revealing of the ‘night runner’ was seen as near eternal in
    some members of the audience’s eyes.
   Encountered: We decided to add a new scene in the hero’s
    house (not included on storyboard) which revealed some
    of his characteristics. This then exposed an all new
    problem as there was no motion in the footage as it was
    on a different camera (not compatible with Premiere Pro).
    We then attempted to convert using Encoder which
    eventually provided a set-back to our schedule due to the
    fact that we needed to re-film the footage.
   Effect: Although we had to prepare for a set-back, we
    handled it well by swiftly responding to the error and re-
    filming commenced with rapid response. It was quite a
    complex process of trial and error: discovering the
    fault, identifying the correct format and responding to
    this.
