After our last consult, Tom had the great idea to film a video podcast every week leading up to the presentation of our scenes. This is especially good for the reflection aspect of our assignment as we will be documenting our ideas and how they evolve over the production phase. It will also showcase the challenges and uncertainties we face and how we adapt to these challenges. We will include snippets of these segments as part of our final presentation with the scenes that we will film.
We plan to do it in the style of the writer room, where we gather around a table and discuss the relevant topics of the week. It can be tempting to go off track while filming the podcast so we must write up discussion points as well as a designated moderator to keep the group on topic. This will make for a much more organised podcast which hopefully will be filled with interesting points as well as some ideas that we will actually carry out.

It is perhaps a bit unrealistic to expect that we will all be in the same room since that has only happened only once this semester, therefore we hope to at least get everyone to appear once on the podcast. It will be ideal if we film these sometime on Thursday since it’s the day we are meant to be in the same room. We should plan to make a screen test of this so we can have a better idea of how to actually produce these segments.

In the editing phase of these podcasts we could also include opening and background music as well as images that relate to what we are talking about. We will not go as far as adding sound effects because we aren’t making a morning radio show since that will set a certain tone that will be undesirable for our podcast.
