Auditions

This is our auditions tape for the roles of the innocent victim. Auditions were hard to take and analyse on who would be best suited for our thriller due to the lack of dialogue we will have in the film and so we had to analyse purely on the way they position themselves as a dead or almost dead victim.

Our first actor was Sam Payne, through looking at the tape we found Sam good at not moving around a lot and actually look as if dead, he made it seem realistic. Also Sam's specific build and size is great for the role of the innocent victim as he would be deemed as potentially more vulnerable in the eyes of the audience.

The second actor was Luke Crane, although he has many experiences of acting due to he is studying drama,we feel that Luke is more of a person who would be good at playing an exaggerated lively character rather than a role who is not so much in the spotlight. As you can see we want the victim to be seen dead, however Luke is unable to stay still, leaving an unrealistic look. A thriller is good when realism is incorporated into the film, Luke is unable to do this and so we will not be including him as an innocent victim.

Finally we have Matthew Bolland, he has no experience in acting and can not simply act dead.Matthew is a charismatic individual who would rather do comedy film types and make scenes more funny, unfortunately this is not what we was looking for due to we want the thriller to be portrayed as serious. We will not be casting Matthew as the innocent victim due to we feel that Matthew will not depict a vulnerable person.

Overall we have chosen Sam Payne to cast as the innocent victim due to his well preformed audition, we feel that Sam can be more easily deemed as a vulnerable person and so we will use this our advantage to heighten tension in our thriller.
