Audition process and finding actors/actresses

We held various auditions in college and put up notices through social networking sites such as facebook and tumblr and have found actors and actresses, this wasn’t successful because when we invited them back for a call back to choose our final actors and actresses we found that they were either late or not able to attend because they’re our ages and they have exams going on. We need actors that that within the age range of 16-19 and finding actors/actresses within this age rage is hard because they are in full time education and we don’t have the budget. If we had the budget like a real production then we would look for actors/actresses from urban regions because we want our actors/actress to have a great experience working with us and want real people who have probably been through similar situations. Therefore we have come to the conclusion that two members of our production team will step in and act for the opening scene. Michael and I both took As performing arts last year so we have experience in this field and I come from a performing arts background. We realised to create good continuity we need reliable people and we are reliable and when we need to film we’d always be available unlike other actors/actresses and a lot of the time it’s not the fact that they aren’t reliable it’s because it’s an unpaid job and people of our age prefer to do paid jobs or unpaid jobs with bigger production teams. As we offer neither we have found it hard to find people to act for us however we have overcome this problem by using ourselves.

My pitch.

This is an example of my pitch, when i had pitched this to the class the class hadn't fully understood my concept and therefore I had decided not to go along with it. furthermore it would appear to be quite explicit and could offend a lot of people.                    

Character profile.

 As a group, we understand that the characters ultimately make out opening. If we do not cast correctly then our opening scene will appear as though we haven't planned for the opening and this may cause us  to lose marks, which we aim to not
