Hiring actors 11/10/12

As me and my partner managed to organise all the components for our shooting, our most important component that we only need is actors;

As you know we consider of having actors between the age of 15-18, this is because of our scenes in which involves with drinking ect.Our previous plan was to hire year 9 students, however as this will come across with a drinking scene, the students would not be suitable for that position, therefore we have managed to hire a few actors from our school that my partner knew who are:

• Zarah Mpopo
• Stephanie in year 13
• Claire Astley

These actors were hired by my partner Karis in whom she managed to inform them about asking permission from their teachers of missing their lesson and also providing them a permission slip to be signed by their parents.

We then realised that we needed extra actors, in which they will be involved of being the group of girls surrounding Kate and Olivia. Therefore I have volunteered to find those actors from a year 10 drama group and managed to receive two well mannered year 10 students who are:

• Hannah Patel
• Paige Poole

I have managed to inform them about the shooting schedule which is on the Tuesday 16^th October from 7:45am to 11:00am in which they will only be involved with a few scenes. However before confirming their roles in our film it was compulsory for me to provide them a permission slip for their parent sand also ask their head of year named Mr moloney.This was very important for me to ask because without asking permission of their head of year could get our group with a lot of trouble so therefore we must be very certain and also secured of our options.

As you can see below I have informed my media teacher in which seemed very pleased.

The print screen shows how I informed the year 10 to meet me to receive the permission slips

 

I have managed to message the head of year 10 and hoping to receive a reply in which ill then update as soon as possible.

Overall what I have learnt from his process is that I must very accurate and very certain of the specific actors, it usually takes a lot of time consuming however the end result will be perfect if the actors are professionally good at acting.
