Pre-Production: Auditions and Scheduling

Last Thursday we held one last audition in the Production studio.
My mail to the school of Drama had gotten through, and I had received about five mails with inquiries about our short film. In the end, only one person turned up for the audition at three. The girl did a good job, and we quite liked her performance. Sach and Alistair were there with me, but we had nothing to do after the girl left.

Our previous actor for Adrian had cancelled the role, and in the end it turned out that another girl that might have played the role, was also unavailable. I had hoped for that girl to bring her boyfriend into the shortfilm, but neither of them were up for it in the end.
So I mailed the girl that had auditioned last week, and she agreed happily to be Caitlyn.

We arranged to meet up today to take a few pictures of her and Oscar, who will have to play Adrian now, as a couple. This is prop preparation more than anything, and will set us up for a day of filming in my room here at Uni. Oscar works during the weekends, and our Caitlyn is free mostly on mondays and wednesdays, when we can only really work in the afternoon. Arranging a filming schedule might become difficult, but we must really get started on the filming.

I requested of our actors to bring separate sets of clothes to the shoot today, so we can make it look as though they took many photos together.
