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. | 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.

Initially, with [[Jacob Boyle|Jacob]] working on the script. | 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. | ||
The first issue that appeared, was that the house selected is fairly small inside with compact rooms and common space. As per the script, 6 spaces were needing (5 internal and 1 ext) which was every usable room in the house and the garage / front lawn. Covering all 6 spaces with multiple cameras simultaneously was impossible with the equipment that we had and the script called for the actors to be moving around from room to room without being seen, all without any stoppage and full live. Oh and there were multiple possible paths and endings for both the cast and the crew to memorise. | |||
After several late nights, pints and about 10 spreadsheets; the plan was finished. [[Stephanie Shires|Steph]] would take charge of the directing of the camera's and the show running during the production week, [[Thomas Schubert|Tom]] would take charge of directing the actors and [[Andrew Waddle|Andrew]] would take charge of the technical running of the show along with [[Ben Allen]] and the rigging of the location. | |||
