Tips and Troubleshooting

1. How to use the app:

• Install the Night Film Decoder app on your device.

• Search for the spray-painted bird image in select illustrations throughout NIGHT FILM. When you see it, launch the app on your device and scan the illustration with the rear-facing camera on your device until a Play button appears on the screen. Hint: Not every one hides a secret.

• Press the Play button and enjoy.

2. Tips for Issues with Image Scanning

• Make sure you scan a large portion of the image, not just the spray-painted bird image

• The app only works with images that include the spray-painted bird icon

• Sometimes the app won’t recognize an image until it is in focus. Give your camera a second to focus on the image. You can also double tap your camera screen to help it adjust its focus controls.

• If you are having trouble getting the app to recognize an image, try moving your device closer or further away from it until you see the red play button.
