Throughout the duration of our two minute film opening we have three on screen characters, two of which are named. The decision process for our casting took around one day. We held small auditions within our group to decided if any of us fit the roles as this was the most practical an efficient way to maximise filming time. In our production group it consists of myself, Navid and Sabil and we all are A level drama students who are very good in our own aspects so initial we were already confident in our possible casting.
After our small audition process where we referred to our casting call; which is also on my blog, and read some of our scripted lines, we decided to cast myself as John Wayne and cast Sabil as the Chief Inspector. The decision process for the casting of myself as John Wayne was quite because we could see myself as this rough edged character if we developed some costume and we felt confident my onscreen acting would fit the role. On the other hand for the Chief Inspector we were torn between Navid and Sabil as the final cast member for this role. In the end we went with Sabil as again we referred to our casting call and also we felt Sabil could produce a variety of interesting facial expressions and a strong onscreen persona and we therefore chose to cast him.
Once we had casted our two named characters as a group we came together to decide on who we can cast as our police officer. After this discussion we casted George in this role. We decided to cast George as he has a tall large build that we felt was perfect for the role.
