At a meeting this morning with the two main participants in the project I’ll be asking many many questions, which I’ve nutted down to a few different sections:
- What are the aims of this project, what do you/we want to achieve out of it?
- Keeping in mind the limitations certain broadcast agreements can have, what would be the most comfortable approach to planning a broadcast? (ie: pre-sale commission, independant production)
- Who are we going to invite to be part of this project by way of contributing interviews? What sorts of questions should be be asking? How do we make sure we ask them in a culturally appropriate way?
- Explanations of the various protocols we need to be aware of
- Any ideas about musicians who might be interested in being involved?
- Discussion of ideas about the style of the piece
Busy meeting indeed!
