During a visit to V bar in mid October 2019, [[Stephanie Shires|Steph]], [[Jacob Boyle|Jacob]], [[Thomas Schubert|Tom]]and [[Andrew Waddle|Andrew]] attempted to plan out how YSTV could pull off such an idea in 2 months. The V bar plan, several pints later, came down to 3 factors; finding a place to shoot in, finishing the final locked script, and working out how to cover an entire house with only a handful of cameras.

Initially, with [[Jacob Boyle|Jacob]] working on the script the next most practical area to work on, was the location. With a house setting needed for the entire shoot, and a whole week being required between, rehearsal, setup, shooting and pack down; the hunt was on to find somewhere suitable. Several people pitched in ideas for a house setting including [[Stephanie Shires|Steph's]] parents' house and several student homes around York. After several weeks of negotiation and work by [[Stephanie Shires|Steph]], her student house was agreed upon to use as the location. With now only 5 weeks left until the live day, the technical and operational planning hurdles began to make their presence felt.

As for sound, each location had a setup of roomtone microphones for the sake of general pickup and filling of sound, with all the actors being miced with wireless lav sets borrowed from Pick Me Up Theatre in York. The sound cables around the house and the receivers from the wireless packs were all terminated under the stairs at an X32 operating as a stagebox, then the output of that box went to the gallery sound desk for final mixing and transmission.

As for the rest of the rigging and lighting, it was mainly made up during the production week by [[Andrew Waddle]] and [[Emma Sahall]] after seeing the rehearsals.
