Kodak Awards: Auditions

So now that we finally had our location to shoot at we then needed our actors, so i begun searching on both Facebook and acting agencies like Star Now. i received no replies from Star Now and for a while didn't receive any from the Four Bridges Facebook page. We then did discover another Facebook page in which we found several actors and thanks to Janice's connections with her daughters classes of actors we had started a Facebook group chat with around 20+ actors.

After informing them of the dates we were planning on shooting we then decided to set up the auditions which lasted most of the day, we had 5 turn up out of the ones in the group chat some better than others, we recorded the sessions and tried them out for both Time and Popcorn. We had found our actors and were still in need for extras especially for the Popcorn advert. We managed to get a hold of a class at teesside uni that were willing to be extras for the shoot.

Of the actors that showed up for the auditions we chose to have Susie Flinton, Toni Elwin and Tony Winward. we are now moving onto the process of lighting tests and maybe a practice test on the following week. We are still in need for a fourth male actor, in which i have contacted one of the actors on the digital live stream.
