Casting

For our thriller opening sequence we have chosen two actors and a dog to construct the opening sequence. One of the actors chosen is Becca, we have considered her for the reasons that she is a confident and flexible student who is willing to be co-operative and work hard. A person with these decent qualities will not only commit to what she has been asked to do, but she will be able to discuss and assist with any problems with her staging or if she feels uncomfortable. Becca is also an efficient and organised person who likes to try out new challenges therefore we should not have any complications with her during filming schedules. Becca has experienced numerous performances as she has achieved a grade B in her Dance GCSE. Her experience is not so much from a drama prospective however having a Dance qualification she would have had to be able to work in a team also solo so getting her to do duets would not be difficult. Involving the thriller questionnaire, a large 54% the volunteers who completed the questionnaire said that they would prefer a pretty girl character therefore we believe Becca is a perfect candidate for this.

Additionally, the next actor we have selected is myself, I am reliable person and I feel I have bags of enthusiasm and energy. These abilities will help me to make sure my performance is to its full potential. Some of my peers would say I’m a keen, positive and friendly natured person who does not find it hard to interact with people. Besides, I believe I have a genuine passion for working with people and have achieved a grade B in GCSE Drama. I have given countless presentations in school and I have also performed in various school productions. I feel I am a confident person who is well educated in creating a good performance for an audience and knowing what they would like. I could say I am trustworthy individual as I have excellent attendance and punctuality record at school (100% in Year 11) so there should be no trouble in my appearance whilst shooting. Because of my Drama GCSE I have been taught how to select the most effective course of action so if there is any problems with the shooting I will be able to step in and try to solve it.

Lastly we have chosen a dog named Ruby, it is a Pug. Pugs have been featured in television and film, including Frank the Pug in the film Men in Black. Pugs are small in size and have enormous personalities. Ruby is intelligent, affectionate and loves to be the centre of attention. She has been trained therefore it should not be a problem whilst getting her to perform in our opening sequence. Since Pugs are small, and cute. It almost breaks the general stereotype of all dogs have to be of a medium size and slightly aggressive. Besides, Ruby should be able to win over peoples hearts as she is well behaved and enjoys attention.
