LCD Connected to Timer to Activate Other Pins

Please excuse me as I am very new to electronics and Arduino as I am only 13 years old.

I photograph rocket launches in Cape Canaveral and I would like to setup remote cameras at the launchpad that are triggered by the sound of the launch. I have already figured out the sound trigger portion for still cameras, and I can have it activated correctly, however I wanted to be able to attach video cameras to the board. Since I would want to record the ignition before the sound occurs, I would need to set it to start recording around 5 minutes before the launch window starts, and have it shut down at the end of the launch window. Now, I have everything else setup, but I just need to know how I could input the launch window on the LCD, and when it hits this time on a real-time clock module I would attach, how would I get it to have a few pins go to HIGH.

Thank you in advance!
