Try your own response first. This example shows one possible approach; it is not an assessed script.
At approximately 10:15, according to the witness’s initial note, a visitor moved away from the reception desk during a discussion about a missing reference. The camera display showed 10:18 at the relevant point, but the technical team later confirmed that its clock had been running three minutes fast. The displayed time and the confirmed offset have therefore been retained together in the record. Staff informed the duty supervisor and preserved the relevant references for review. The recording confirms the movement away from the desk; it does not establish what the visitor heard or intended. A communication difficulty may have contributed, but that explanation remains unconfirmed. The technical team will check the clock setting of the second relevant camera by 14:00, and the supervisor will review the sequence after receiving that update.
- The opening attributes an approximate time to the witness, while the camera is a separate source.
- Had been running supplies past perfect and explains why the original display needs an offset.
- The paragraph records action and a dated follow-up without inferring motive from movement.
