We have decided on the girls to use for the roles. A description of each actor will be posted later. During the callback we used a camera to film the girls to see what they will be like when filmed.

Here is the footage:

After the callbacks we have decided that we are going to cast Maggie. She is in Year 9 and not only is the best actress for the role but she is also the most prepared. After speaking to teachers we also agree she will be a good person to work with. We are figuring out our filming schedule with her now and will post later.

For our film we are going to need four characters. Last year we were able to use myself and a close friend as this helped with arranging times to film, however, this year we are going to need four people who are going to fit the roles perfectly. This means that organisation is a big priority to be able to get the actors together fro filming.

The Characters are:

Goldilocks: This role will be played by a Year 9 or 8 girl from our school. We have had recommendations from drama teachers and will be holding auditions soon.

Red Riding Hood: This role will also be played by a girl in year 8 or 9 and will preferably be one of the girls that will be at the auditions. This character won't have any lines.

DCI Pearce: This will be played by out Media teacher as he is part of a local acting group and this will help as we can more easily arrange timings and so there will be an adult present for the filming with the younger girls.

DC Harpley: This character will be played by one of our friends. Harpley doesn't have any lines so the level of acting is not an issue and having someone we know will help with the directing.

Three bears: The last characters are the bears. These will be portrayed by bear skins and so the characters won't have any line but are more mentioned.

The two characters that we are using that are based of fairytales are Goldilocks and Red Riding Hood. Both of these characters have big similarities and they are often seen together in drawings such as above.

Both the characters are portrayed as girls but both of the stories have been changed over time. Also both the stories take place in the woods with the girls more or less on their own. Lastly both stories include a wild animal that is seen as dangerous. Because of these similarities we want to have Red play a cameo in our short film.

This effect will help give the world that our film is set in slightly more depth by showing that there is more than one fairytale story that has been twisted.
