Coursework Planning - Casting

Images of the people you will be auditioning for your character(s)?

For our piece of coursework we won't be using a character as such in the opening scenes, we won't have the faces of our character featuring, we will only have our characters hands in our opening. This is because our idea is to use the hands of the character in a way that it is capturing what they are doing, pulling apart pictures, cutting things, painting etc. So for this we had a look at peoples hands to see who would fit our character best.

Who are they?

The person that we will be using for this will most likely be from our group as it is easier than finding someone to use purely for that, also it makes everyone in the group feel a lot more comfortable and easier to ask them to perform certain actions as we know them. However we could alternatively use a parent of one of ours where we are filming as this would also be easier.

Why do you believe they would be good for the role?

Any one in the group would be suitable for this role, as it doesn't require any dramatic performance, but instead just being willing to use their hands. They don't need to perform any facial expressions or anything of a dramatic nature, therefore it means that they don't really need any experience of too be particularly good at acting for this.

Why have you given the role(s) to this/these people?

It will be given to someone in our group or a parent of a group member as it is most convenient for the process of filming, it is a simple role and doesn't require any great deal of acting and therefore it is the most logical thing to use one of ourselves for the role.
