Research and Planning: Auditions

STALKER AUDITIONS:

We auditioned Dan as the stalker to see what if a male stalker or female stalker would be more effective. We asked Dan to say 'Get in the boot' this line could be said in a menacing way, after auditioning him I feel like he fits the role of the stalker very well, as he is a good actor and got into the role we instructed him to.The line he said would be used in the final scene of our trailer as we want it to end on a scary note. Dan was able to create the effect we wanted therefore I would cast Dan for the role of stalker in our film trailer.

VICTIM AUDITIONS:

I think this actress got into the role we asked of her very well, she acted out the line very well in terms of voice and facial expressions. I don't think that she is totally suited to the role of the main victim in the trailer however I would cast her as another role as she showed great acting potential.

I don't think this actress got into the role we asked of her, her tone of voice didn't portray the effect of being scared that we wanted for our main actress. Therefore, I don't think I would cast her as the victim in our trailer as I want the audience to view the victim as the stereotypical damsel in distress and this actress didn't show the ability to do that.

I think this actress fits the look of the victim that we are looking for however she doesn't show a diverse  range of acting ability as the line seemed to be forced and not natural. Therefore I would not cast her as the victim but would consider her as another character.
