In a school environment, the availability to have a production meeting is fairly limited because we are not working in a professional environment. There are none of the specified sectors to hand and all sound/light has to be conducted ourselves and costume has to be gathered by us and our cast members. Moreover, our choices are limited. Nevertheless, Imogen and I had a chat about what we would want our sound, lighting, and costume design to look like.
The lighting that we want to show is as follows:
Urban scenes - stark and artificial, almost electrical; perhaps a white or light blue light would show this.
Field scenes - warm and comforting, like there's sunlight; something soft, almost hazy.
Forest scenes - a little darker some sunlight but its dappled (the potential use of a gobo to show this).
Transition - darker, almost black but with an extended spotlight on Phil.
However, it must be noted that our supplies are limited, the lights in the performance space may not be where we want them to be, and we are not lighting technicians so our knowledge on this is not to the standard of professionals.
The sound that we want to have is as follows:
Urban - potentially the low thrum of cars; however, as the scene is very short this may not work.
Field - birdsong.
Forest - wind.
Transition - birdsong and wind building to a crescendo, the sound is almost unbearable; it's accompanied by the sounds of a crow or raven, the omens of death, to signify the 'death' of Adam.
Again, it should be noted that our supplies are limited for sound.
The costume we want to have is as follows (the image is from a message I sent to the cast):
