Cast

My next factor I needed to consider was the actors I was going to cast in my short movie trailer. As i have now decided my genre I need to ensure that the actors I choose fit the criteria. I am thinking of doing auditions for my potential actors, doing this I can compare how good their acting is and ensure that i choose the best cast to include. It is very important when picking my cast that they look like stereo typical actors. This means having a good dress sense. I don't want any of my cast to wear to much make-up and I want them to all look fairly natural for the parts they are going to play in the film trailer. Doing some research I found that Jennifer Aniston and Cameron Diaz really portray the look I am looking for. They are both very natural and where casual clothes the majority of the time. This look is something we are going to mirror for our cast. This is Ellie Failes, She has a very natural look and doesn't seem to wear a-lot of make-up. Ellie is drama student giving her an advantage. The clothes she is wearing in this image are casual although this is the sort of look we were going for in our trailer we would pick out clothes for her to wear. We would have to ensure the girls are wearing similar sort of clothes so that is shows there similarities.

This is Katie. Again she is not seen to be wearing alot of makeup. Her style is again casual which is what we are looking for. Katie has no experience in acting and this would be new to her. This is Imogen Clapp she again fits the criteria very well she has quite a dramatic/dark look. She again is wearing casual clothes in the picture. She has a different look to the other girls which could be a problem as we need to have the same sort style with each of the girls.

This is Annabelle Roberts. Annabelle appears to be wearing more makeup than the other girls but this could be made more natural if we decided to use her. Annabelle is enthusiatic and hard working so has potential for a role in our trailer.

This is Lizzie Hopkins. Lizzie again fits the criteria, she is very natural and has a good dress sense. Lizzie is in our close friendship group with benefits us as we would be able to contact and see her when needed for filming. This is Samantha Caunt. Samantha is an ex- drama student which will benefit us. Samantha is wearing more make-up but it is evenly done. She again has similar dress sense to the other girls which is good. I think Samantha has a very good look for what were looking for. Samanatha is very self motivated which is important for the tasks we would be setting her.

This Is Beth Joyce. Beth has a very glamorous star quality look to her. She is again in our close friendship group this being an advantage to us. In this image she is dressed up but for the film trailer we would pick more casual clothes for her.

<- This is Lucy Smith. Lucy is doing her second year in drama and very enthusiastic. Lucy is very girly but is naturally pretty wearing little make-up. Lucy follows the same sort of dress-sense that we have seen some of the other girls wearing this is useful as it would show there similar interests e.g. fashion. <- This is georgie Lewis. Georgie is extreammly co-operative and a good listener. I no that georgie would be happy to help and get involved. Gerogie has a bob which would be good as it would give variation in the girls hairstyle.

After looking at each girls photo and considering their talents and achievements we decided on five girls. We then did a video of each girl asking them why they thought the were good enough for a role in our production.

These are the videos below.

These are the five girls we will use in our production.
