28th February 2013
Throughout the week we had sent out some online advertisements for the two roles that we were casting. We advertised on Gumtree and Twitter, and were overwhelmed with how many people were interested in auditioning for the film.
Seven people got in contact with us during the week and on the 28th, we sat down and discussed when we should have a casting call so we could see the actors and how they would perform the script in front of us. We also agreed that Pearse would type up a short monologue for the son, and I would type up a short monologue for the mother character.
During this meeting, Pearse emailed the head of the HND Performing Arts department in the college as well as making a start on the shot list. We will be using Pearse's house for the shoot, and because we only have to use the kitchen, bedroom, hall way and a living room; we can stay in the house for the entirety of shooting and not need to travel to a number of locations throughout filming.
Before the meeting ended, we decided to have the casting call on Monday 4th March at 2pm; we didn't give the actors specific times, we just stated that auditions started at 2pm to make it easier for anyone if they were able to come early or if they were running a little late.
