Before the auditions we had to create slips for the auditionees to fill out , that would tell us when they are available , what position they are auditioning for and how to contact them if we wanted to use them in our film.

Here are the slips we created:

After we had created these we then went on to collect the cameras needed in order to film the auditions. When we arrived we found that the camera technician was not there , and therefore we were unable to collect the cameras. This meant that we could not continue with our auditions at the time we had hoped. Once we had found the camera technician the times we had designated for the audition were over , therefore we could not film the auditions today. We contemplated setting another date for the audition , however this meant re designing the audition posters to change the date, putting them up around, and leaving them up for another two weeks for them to gain enough publicity. After discussing these issues with the team we decided not to rehold the auditions, but to use the camera to film my self and the other female team members auditioning, this way it meant that we would have held at-least some sort of audition process . With Kim being production manager she found a place for us to hold our audition , whilst i set up the camera. I then filmed Kim and Rosie auditioning , whilst Elliott kept an eye on sound, however we realised that camera and sound quality were not as important as we were only filming the auditions. Elliott then took over my role as director whilst i was auditioning with Kim and Rosie .

We found that using members of our own team meant that we would have actors we could rely on , and we could also film outside of college hours.
