Our actors

Hey there! So, today has been quite the experience trying to choose the right friends to act in my film. Let me tell you, it's not as easy as it seems! Here are some of the things I've learned along the way:  Firstly, I had to really think about the characters in my story and what kind of personalities, backgrounds, and motivations they had. This helped me to narrow down which friends would fit the roles I needed. Then, I had to consider the age range of my characters and make sure that the friends I was interested in were in that range. It's important to make sure that the age of the actors fits the story, otherwise it can look a bit weird. Of course, availability was also a big factor. I had to make sure that the friends I wanted to cast were available during the filming schedule. There's nothing worse than having to recast halfway through because someone can't make it! To help me find the right friends, I also asked for recommendations from classmates and friends. This was super helpful because they knew what kind of project I was working on and could suggest people who might fit the roles. Once I had a shortlist of friends, I conducted auditions to see how they performed in front of the camera. It was really interesting to see how they interpreted the characters and the emotions I was trying to convey. Chemistry was also really important. I wanted to make sure that the friends I cast had good chemistry with each other, otherwise the film wouldn't be believable. Appearance was also something I had to consider. I had to make sure that my friends fit the physical appearance of the characters. But at the same time, I didn't want to be too picky, because i understand the limitations of my cast. It was also really important to me that the friends I cast were enthusiastic about the project and excited to be a part of it. Having people who are invested in the project makes a huge difference. Finally, I had to trust my gut. If I had a good feeling about someone, I went with it. After all, I know my friends pretty well and I could tell who would be a good fit for the project. Overall, casting my friends for this film project has been a lot of fun. It's been great to see them get into character and really bring the story to life. I'm really excited to see the finished product and to share it with my classmates!
