The auditions are taking place this lunch time, so while we are waiting to find our actors we thought it would be a good idea to look at the costumes we would like them to wear. Whilst Kim and amber updated there blogs with risk assesment forms and storyboards.
For the lost and found advert we knew that we wanted the girl to wear a cocktail dress and for the guy to be in a suit. Here are some examples of what we are looking for.
Four Bisous We decided that we wanted the man to be getting ready for work , whilst the girl is still in her pajamas putting on her make-up.
Here are examples of what we are looking for:
At lunch time we waited for people to arrive at the auditions however not many people did so Kim and Hayley Dutton decided to go into the canteen approach groups of people during their break, which they found to be a very successful idea, many people said that they would be willing to take part. In total they managed to get 8 auditionees and some friends who offered to help if we couldn’t find anyone. After Looking the pictures we chose to use Samantha Swingle and Paul Zuna for Bisous which we intend to film on saturday 5th December and Lewis Coventry and Clare Holland for Lost and Found however if Lewis cannot do it then Ben Slater and Filiz hassan said they will take on the role instead, we have decided to film this on wednesday 25th November.
We also decided to upload our photos on to a photo sharing website www.Photobucket.com meaning that we did not have to upload every photo we have taken on to our blogs. The photos of our auditonees can be found on the following links

Once we had made our final choice on our actors, Kim texted them saying that they had been chosen , what advert we wanted to use them for and what dates we intended to film.

Since our auditions , not everything has worked out as we had intended on. Once we texted the actors , we found that some simply wouldn’t reply, such as Paul Zuna and others that we had chose said we could not make it, such as Claire. In addition we could not work out a suitable date of filming due to everyone college time table and part-time jobs etc. So to overcome this Kim spoke to our tutor , who said to create a list of the problems we were facing and then as a group come up with suitable solutions to each problem. Our first problem to solve was the date for filming, we thought the best idea would be to film in a media lesson so that all of our group are able to attend. Lewis was one of the only people we had chosen that could actually do the advert for us, Kim texted him asking if he could film in london on a thursday , but unfortunatley he has college so would be unable to make it. Following this information , we decided to ask our friends who said they would do it if we could not get anyone else. These were Ben Slater and Filiz Hassan , who would both be free on the date we intended on filming, which was good because we also found out that the weather would be good for filming.
For the Bisous advert , we knew that we could rely on Samantha Swingle as she is also one of our friends, but we still needed a male for the advert. Kim then told us that Lewis would be free on saturdays , which is when we want to film. So we decided that we would use him for the bisous advert instead.
Once we had sorted out all our problems we then wrote down a final plan:
Ben and Filiz would be used for the Lost and Found advert which would be filmed on the 26th of november. Myself, the rest of the group and Filiz will travel to London after college, however Ben will meet us in London as he lives closer to London than he does the college. Lewis and Samantha will be used for the Bisous advert , which will be filmed at my house on the 5th of december. The rest of the crew and Samantha will get to my house via the bus and Lewis will drive to mine once we give him this address.
Despite knowing this information, Kim will still fill out call sheets telling actors were to go , just to clarify everything and to make sure everything goes to plan.
