People and Places
In this blog post we will be doing some casting calls and determining a location to film my brief. So, without further ado, let us begin!
Casting
I don't have many friends who are willing to act as the main character in a film brief. When I say not many, I mean none. I hoped I would be able to find someone because it would have been easier to film with my hands available. However, I shan't let this set me back!
While I will have to navigate my filming journey by myself, I am not completely castles. I have gotten the help of my parents - Steve and Catherine Compere - to act as Shaheer and Rita on the podcast. This is great because it will add to the authenticity of the film opening.
Emma/ Simone Compere
- Can understand character well (because I made her)
- Is an ordinary looking teenage girl
- Will try her best acting
Shaheer/ Steve Compere
- Both are charming personalities
- Has a deep voice which is found attractive
- Can display a wide range of emotions vocally
Rita/ Catherine Compere
- Both are naturally very friendly figures
- Can easily make the switch from light hearted banter to serious discussions
- Cheery/ Happy voice
Location
Since my cast is just me and my parents, I think it is safe to say that the location I will be filming is my house. This is actually a bit better for me because I have a lot of items in my room that I think will fit perfectly with Emma's vibe. I do not have a definite list of props yet, so I do have to begin creating a list for that soon.
Reflection
While my cast is small and does include me, this will allow me to communicate my ideas more effectively to the group. Additionally, it allowed the location to be my house. This will allow me a lot of creative freedom with set design. I'm really excited about that because my room happens to be completely undecorated, so I'll be decorating it for the first time for this project. My next blog post will be about some of the props I am considering.
Until then, farewell!
