Using my Character Profiles, I further elaborated on these and posted each character on the site, along with a description of what happens in the film along with motives. I made sure to include all relevant information including pay, who is involved, audition dates + filming dates. I am very happy as after just a few days I have received a lot of applicants.
I went through each individual profile and looked at their pictures, showreel and experience. Although there was a lot who didn't fit the criteria, there was also a high majority that seemed to fit the character profile and description of the character Bethany Hutson and George Young. A lot of the applicants asked to see the script, so throughout the rest of the week I began finishing off the first draft of the script. After sorting out the applicants, I began emailing them to invite them for an interview on the week commencing the 26th October and also the next 2 weeks after that. I sent them a specific scene of the film that would fit their character and so far I have secured a lot of auditions which I am excited for.
Throughout the audition I am planning for it to last around 15 - 20 minutes or longer depending on the applicant. I am going to discuss the whole film with them, any questions they have, also make sure they are definitely available for the filming dates and mention the pay we are planning to give them, along with asking them to act out the scene we will have given them. To see the full spectrum of what the actor can do, we are going to also ask them to perform another scene that involves them showing/performing a different side to them or another emotion. I am really eager to start the auditions as I think the process will be exciting to begin to see the film come to life.
