Main Task- Auditions

For our main task we decided to hold auditions for our characters so that we could chose the finest actor/actresses. We held audition after school, in Cheney School and in one of the drama classes. Though, as we had a great response we had to end up short listing them, as we were in the search for the best actor for our film that would easily meet up with our target audiences needs.

However finding the correct actor for Alicia’s role was essential but difficult, as we had a lot of expectations, for example, someone who could learn script lines quickly, who could act very well and someone who was accessible at all times.

Maliqha Nisar

When choosing our actors/actresses our expectation for them taking part in our production was high. During the start of our production we had chosen another actress to act as Alicia. However, Aimee Moynan was fired because she was never available when we wanted her to film our main task. So with the deadline coming closure we decided to hire Maliqha Nisar as Alcia. 

Noura Aggwarni

We also decided to give the role of Alicia's best Freind to Noura Aggwarni.

Hassam Mohammed

We also decided to give the role of the stalker/killer toHassam Mohammed , But because of him having a similar problem of not  being available at any of the filming times. I decided to hand over this role to one of my group members, so Moses Kimuyu played this role instead.

 

Usually when a real film gets produced the producers normally advertise the job which can be costly; they also short-list and provide them with a script. So we decided to put poster out all around Cheney School, the response we had was good, even though the actor/actresses weren't gone get anything in return.
