Other Character Auditions

Lily King

17 Years old

Shy

Independent

Lily had volunteered to be one of the actors within our short film as she has had a lot of experience within the acting industry. This was very beneficial towards us because it meant that we did not have to search for another actor, which could have taken us a long period of time. Lily had auditioned for the role of the rough sleeper and she fit this character perfectly, as there was minimal speaking and she was a very realtisic throughout her audition. We had decided that Lily should play the part of the rough sleeper due to her reserved and apprehensive personality.

Grace Staines

18 Years old

Sympathetic

Honest

Our net audtionee was Grace, who was auditioning for the role of the doctor in our short film. Grace has a very keen interest in biology and medicene, which is why we thought she would be perfect for this role in our film. Grace comes across as quite a serious individual, which is also another reason why she had auditioned for the role as doctors must be really sincere when it comes to medical conditions. We decided that Grace should definately take on the character of the doctor due to the similar traits that she holds.

Auditions for Edward's Character

Connor Dye

17 Years old

5'10

Confident
Witty

 We interviewed Conor for the position of our protagonist, Edward. He fitted the bill perfectly with regards to our idea of Edward, a dark haired, sarcastic teenager with confidence, and a flair for acting. We scouted him from our school production, in which we thought he had all of the necessary qualities. We did actually offer him the role, but he decided he was too busy with his own media coursework, and wouldn't have time for filming and school work at the same time.

Jenson Grech

17 Years old

5'8

Charismatic

Enthusiastic

We then moved on to Jenson, who is a very charismatic young man and would definitely be a fine actor for our position of Edward, as it is essential that his character is played well, in order to effectively portray our story. It is clear Jenson is a very talented actor. So talented in fact, that he wouldn't be available for the job of Edward, as he is too busy also, being in a drama production outside of school, which requires frequent and last minute rehearsals, meaning he would not be reliable for filming. As a result, we must continued searching for our character of Edward.

George Deverill

5'6

Intelligent

Humorous

Our final auditionee for the part of Edward was George, who is quite a confident individual and comes across as a well-educated young man. We decided that George would play a perfect position for Edward's character as he is quite geeky and different compared other people. George had never taken part in any form of acting or drama production so we thought it could be really risky taken him on as our main character. However, George has a lot of available times to film throughout the week but his personality really shined in the audition so we chose to cast him as Edward in the end.

Screenplay

Animatic Feedback

This is some of the feedback I had received from my animatic I made before beginning the production of my short film. Within my feedback it all seems to be very positive as the audience state that the narrative is clear and makes sense. The audience also said that my animations were quite clear, which is good considering it was my first time using the programme. However, something I could improve if I were to make this animatic again is to reduce the amount of pauses throughout and allow it to flow much better until the end.
