As the lighting is incredibly dark with in the house.Over come by use of high wattage halogen light source behind curtains.Or use of a reflective screen to lighten contrast using halogen lighting.Lighting change on bus. The exposure will become un-syncopated as the street lights are seen going past the window joists on the bus, therefore effecting the focus and exposure on the character.Over come by having the character in centre of shot for extra focus pull.Shot taken from a slight angle from window.Time management. Both team members are rarely available at the same time.Over come by creation of time keeping schedule.Divisions of work load into equal amounts.Individual sessions to review all work as a group for further improvements.
