improved error handling, streamlined exceptions and logging statements to deal with the error that are occurring in prod:
File "/apps/icommons_lti_tools/lecture_video/views.py", line 146, in main
   logger.exception('ObjectDoesNotExist, huid='+huid+', keyword='+keyword+', course_instance_id='+course_instance_id)

remove logger strings for hid, keyword and course_instance.
