Before filming our opening sequence, we had to cast actors for our characters. To help us choose which actors would best suit each part, we planned auditions. As we had some people in mind already, we asked them all to meet us in a certain room at our school during break time. We had to plan it so that they were all available and, as most of our actors were from younger years, it was quite hard to find a time they could all attend. However, we eventually found a time, and even though some were late, everyone turned up and our auditions were able to take place successfully.
We also found that having everyone in the same room created a more friendly and fun environment, and throughout auditioning, the actors said they much preferred this as they felt more relaxed and less stressed. By giving the actors a short briefing of the characters they were auditioning for, they felt more confident about what they needed to do as they had a better understanding of the part. We simply read out the character descriptions for each relevant actor.
Before meeting everyone at our auditions we had to create a short script. This was quite difficult as our actual opening consists iof hardly any dialogue and the only person that speaks is the character Bob. We used his line in our auditions as its one of the main parts, and assigned other auditioners tasks that their character would be seen doing.
