Casting - replies

 We have now received replies from our first cast member Liv. Saying she would love to be a part of our scene!

Mood board for my concept idea

 

Casting- Organising

 When we’d agreed upon our casting choices, we reached out to our cast and connected them about their role and availability. Here are the emails:

Casting- Who and Why

For our casting, we were required to think who we would want to cast for our two characters, the man and the woman and the man in the elevator during our scene. Our first choice for the woman and the man in our scene was Liv Rooks and Jake Pratt. This is because they were supposed to look quite young, as they are in university. We know that both of them have an acting background. We want the main character to be a kick-ass woman, who murders the man, going against normal gender stereotypes, so she needed to be strong and agile.

Jake Pratt

 

As our backups, we had Lottie Alford-Warren, who was also a dancer and was incredibly strong, and she looked old enough to be a university student. Out another backup was Keir Edkins, who was tall and looked old enough to be un university. We also knew both of them could act well and would be able to perform the fight choreography.

If we were to have an unlimited budget, and our pick of the industry, I would cast Natalia Dyer, most famous for being in Stranger Things, and quite a few other Netflix original. For the male, I would cast, Nick Robinson, best known for his role in Love Simon. Both these actors fit the age, gender, and build criteria of the actors we would want.

My groups final storyboard

 

Here is my group's full storyboard, sent remotely, (considering we all were doing this online), we sent each other pictures online and exchanged them over our group chat.

My storyboard contribution

My whole group worked together to make out whole storyboard, here is my section.

 

Group Meetings 7, 8, 9 (Week 3)

Meeting 7

In this meeting we began to outline and structure would would become our future storyboards, and face-timed as a group while we reflected on the feedback given to us after our pitch, we took care too look at the motives and psyche of each character, and why exactly, for example, the woman decides to kill him in the elevator rather than an apartment, or why she decided to kill him in the first place, as this is an unusual thing for a protagonist to do. We were also careful to think about the ways we could communicate things to the audience without explicitly telling them though dialogue.

Meeting 8

In this meeting we wrote an outline which is already published on out blogs, we worked together as a group, and really consolidated out idea, as well as addressing possible plot holes and how we could maneuver around them. This really helped out idea become whole before we finished our shot outline.

Meeting 9

In this meeting we wrote our overview of shots fourteen though thirty-six. we worked together to split the work evenly between us, so we could prepare our storyboards efficiently and as well and thoroughly as possible.
