We got into pairs in our group and started to come up with the screening ideas. As we have already had the screening idea, we all sort of developed the existing idea that we had come up. We then thought of ways to project the 3 screens:

1. Using one projector, put the 3 screens onto one screen.

[maybe too simple]

2. Projecting the actual film on the wall(middle), then have the two live streams projected on the sides of the room where there will be two massive fabric hanging on the walls. This provides a rough surface which makes the audience difficult to watch. We came up of this idea because we thought that the whole thing about the film is that everything is difficult and hard to complete, and we thought that we should make everything difficult for the audience the watch. Apart from the 3 screens, we thought of playing the shrieking sounds of birds before the film starts to create a creepy atmosphere of the jungle. These all create an uncomfortable environment for the audience which symbolises how difficult it was for Les Blank to finish the film. 

[constraints: we will have to get two large cloth, we need 2 more projectors]

3. There will be 3 projectors playing one screen on each. 

[constraints: we need 2 more projectors]

We also had another idea of playing loads of different screens with different videos at the same time on one screen. (parrots, audience live stream, rainforest sounds...) This creates a chaotic and messy atmosohere which go align with the film.  There will be a sensory overload which makes audience can't concentrate on the film. In the end, there will be an unsatisfactory outcome from the audience.

*random idea: having as much audience to leave the room as we can.*

In the end, we decided to go for the last idea of having loads of windows screening on one screen. 

Reasons for choosing this idea:

doable

only one projector is needed

creates the chaotic and uncomfortable atmosphere that we wanted
