During the auditions, we first asked the actors to present their own interpretation of the scene using their own characterisation using the directions on the script. Allowing them to interpret the script themselves allowed the group to see their acting skills and how they present them themselves. The next part of the audition was for us as the group to direct them ourselves. This allowed us to observe how well each actor responded to direction.
As a group we decided that myself and Laura would be in charge of the cameras, making sure they were set up correctly and where set at the right angle. Abi and Jenny directed the auditions and wrote down there thoughts so in the next group meeting we are able to discuss the auditions and choose an appropriate character.
These pictures show the four people auditioning practising their script before be began filming them. Allowing them to do this made them feel more comfortable in front of the camera as they knew what they were doing. These videos show the auditions. As we had four possible characters we changed them around so them auditioned with different people.

I feel as if the auditions went well, we were able to make a decision on all characters that we will use within our film. The auditions on took half an hour as the group was organised. There were some disagreements about where we should set up the cameras and what angle we should film at, but we over came this as the group talked about it in a civil manor. All the cameras were charged before hand and we had enough people turn up to the audition to film. After watching the audition films we had filmed, the group was able to choose the appropriate person to cast.
