AUDITIONS
The first people I auditioned for the role of the little boy within my production. I wanted the little boy to be within the age range of 4-8 as I thought this age would fit perfectly with the maturity and level of conversation. I wanted the character to be naïve and young.
Sam Trott- Little Boy
This is Samuel James Trott. I auditioned him for the role of the little boy within my short film. I wanted the character to look innocent and be likeable for the audience watching. I auditioned Sam by handing him a five-pound note and seeing him mess around with it and pull different facial expressions. I think Sam really worked well in playing this role as he made himself appear fragile and cute. This is obviously the style I want to go for within my production. I thought that Sam’s acting performance was good. As well as this, I thought Sam looked the part. His messy blonde hair and big blue eyes reinforced the idea of innocence which makes him the perfect candidate for my short film.

Toby Johnston- Little Boy
This is Toby Johnston and he is auditioning for the role of the little boy. I thought Toby was really good at acting due to going stage school he has that experience with acting and knows how to take direction and do different facial expressions. However, even though Toby is amazing at acting I don’t think he has the same connection on screen as Sam has with the other actors. The chemistry and relationships between each characters really makes the production and makes it more realistic for the audience. As well as this I don’t think Toby looks the part in terms of the vision I wanted to go with, also he doesn’t look related to the characters in which I have casted to me his mum and dad. Overall, I think Toby would be a good backup if the actor Sam Trott pulls out of the production, but otherwise I do not think he is right for the part.

Kathleen Butterworth- Older Woman
I auditioned Kathleen Butterworth for the role of the older woman. I asked Kathleen to hold onto the five-pound note and do an improvisation with it. She decided to look into the money to check if it was real and valid. I thought this improvisation worked really well and fitted with the character of the older woman as she is paranoid and cautious that the money is real. Because of this I thought the audition was a real success. To add to this, I thought Kathleen looked the part as she was in the correct age category to play this character, in her sixties. She looked older, which was the look I was going for, however she did have a innocent look and naieviety about her. This meant her character would come across as likeable and interesting to the audience. From a more practical stand point due to my actress living locally it will make filming easier and more accessible for me, especially if I need to do re-shoots.
