Planning: Casting

As a group we had to find people to cast in our film opening. On a previous session that my group had was that we was going to give each other different things to complete. This was one of Aimee's jobs to complete. She ask a few different people if they would like to be in a part of our film opening and auditioned them. She completed this during school, in her free lessons. The candidates to be the caretaker, had to give Aimee a reason why they should be the caretaker.

Here are the three candidates that Aimee auditioned. 

Candidate 1
Thomas Bates: Aged 16 - attends Kettering Bucclech Academy
Tom has a fascination with the aspects of film and studies AS Media himself. He expressed that he is a dedicated member of the school and works well within a group and team. He also took GCSE Drama.




Candidate 2:
Rebecca Payne; Aged 16- attends Kettering Buccleuch Academy.
Becca believes she is a suitable candidate for this role because she is very reliable and available during our filming schedule. The downfall is that she is a member of the female gender, however this is not a major issue as the face of the caretaker is not seen during the opening, although, she does have a very small body frame which would be noticed.






















Candidate 3:
Tania Garratt; Aged 16- attends Kettering Buccleuch Academy.
Tania is an extremely dedicated member of KBA. She expressed how willing she is to put in the effort to stay behind after school hours and film on set. She has serious characteristics and works brilliantly within a team. She has clarified that she is able to attend all of our filming sessions.





As we felt that Tania had a great amount of determination and dedication, she shall be starring in our opening of the 'Caretaker.' as the victim. She has agreed with us that she will attend all rehearsals and she promises that she will turn up when we are filming our opening.


Candidate 4:
Richard Spence
Age: 46

We have decided that Richard will become the caretaker himself. This is because he is an older than and would fit the caretaker criteria better than Tania would. Plus he is a male. We needed an older male to play the part of the caretaker otherwise the opening would not have the same affect and we would not be impressed with it. We feel that Richard is the right person to play the caretaker in our opening. He has agreed to come to our filming location when needed.
