Major Production - Production progression meeting

Myself, Will and Callum decided to come together and discuss concerns & iron over issues we had with the script & elements of the production. We met at my house and openly discussed areas of concern regarding scenes of the script. For instance, the hallucination scenes will be quite tricky to piece together without fully knowing the script, that's why I needed will there to get his perspective & vision due to it being his creation. This was useful, to know what the characters are going through and what they see makes my life easier to know how to approach each of these difficult scenes from a cinematography perspective. We established that I need to create a shot list, derived from the storyboard will has already created, however i'll be looking over the storyboard to see if I can add some more creativity and style to it. 

Testing the live element for the podcast -
So as the narrative that Will has produced requires a scene in which the group set up a live podcast for 24hrs, we needed to know how we're actually going to create that effect and make it look authentic. We thought about purchasing a small camcorder, connecting it to a laptop and casting it from there, but then realised it wouldn't be efficient. Then it came to us to utilise YouTube's go live option, in where the user can broadcast their contain for a indefinite amount of time. This again wouldn't work as logistically when we would do the scene where Graham is watching them, we'd have to have two cameras, one filming the boys, and one filming Graham, simultaneously so that it would match. Obviously this isn't realistically, as we only have one Panasonic camera and not enough equipment to even attempt it. So we still need to think long and hard about how we're going to approach this scene and potentially even get rid of this live element? 

Another way that we've been thinking is that maybe we could prerecord the footage and Aimee could play around with some graphics and make it look as if it's live? We'll have to figure something out as this is a key part to the narratives arch and drives it forward. Maybe with more research we'll find a solution but at the minute our best bet is having it prerecorded on the webcam of the laptop to make it look grainy and low resolution, and then Aimee plays around with the graphics of it and make it look live.
