Problems encountered
- 2. 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.
- 3. 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.
- 4. 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.
