We needed to ask people to act in our trailer, as we thought that it would be more effective to have people who have done Drama, rather then someone from our group. We thought that by constructing an invitation, it would be more polite and professional; adding a personal touch rather then just asking them to come. We gave this to a selection of people within our year, giving them the option to turn up for an audition or not.
We decided to hold them in the drama department in our school as we knew it was an ideal and easy place for the people we asked to get to. This means that they are more likely to arrive compared to it being somewhere which may be out of the way for them to get to or inconvenient.
We gave them all an individual script for the trailer but also a copy of the plot so that they could get into character before hand and get a rough picture of what the film will consist of. We thought this an appropriate move in order for them to clearly understand what we want from them, so there is no confusion, making them feel more comfortable about coming along.
