Auditions

This is our poster for auditions that we displayed in school:

Our production was searching for one female teenager, that would play the role of the victim, Chloe, and one male teenager that would play the role of the Killer.

The auditions took place on the 7th March at 2.15pm.
However, we needed to change our location, seen in the pictures, due to the space being used by other people.
Here are some of the people that wanted to audition:


At the end of the day, we had finally come to an agreement of who we would pick for the roles, as a company. The best male actor, we decided, was the young male in the picture seen above. He has good posture, excellent facial expressions, a good sense of character building and the ability to engage himself in a character for a long period of time. As a company, we needed these qualities to help the pace and flow of filming; we needed adequate actors that would be able to constantly deliver , considering the amount of takes we might need.
Despite the ease undergone with choosing the male actor, we found it hard to choose a female. We wanted a blonde girl so it would merge with our concept, who has the ability to look naive, have a good sense of facial expressions, to be able to put herself and stay in the character for long periods of time.
Unfortunately the female in the image above did not meet our desired criteria, especially as she has black hair, so we declined her application. Another applicant, however, with blonde hair and simular acting attributes to the male, was accepted.


I'm looking forward to working with them.
