The Actors

When we first pitched our idea for our short film to our secondary and primary audience back in September, we mentioned that we would like to use the same actors for this short film as we used for the Opening Sequence that Alex and I created for our AS coursework. We both hoped to have Harry Cockayne and James McCullin for this short film we will be making as well as include other actors that are close friends to both Harry and James. Unfortunately, due to certain circumstances, James was unable to give up a lot of his free time to devote the weekends for filming as he had a lot of work to be catching up with. Alex and I were both gutted that James would be unable to make the film dates to shoot the scenes we need him in since he pulled off an amazing acting performance for our Opening Sequence at AS. We both had to therefore find another actor who could replace the role of James as the main protagonist character.

James and one other person we had asked said they wouldn't mind being the supporting actors for the film, which means that they would fill in for the main cast actors on days which they couldn't make when we come to plan out our production schedule. In the end, after several discussions with the rest of the cast members, we were able to get hold of a guy called Morgan Taverner who is very close friends with Luke (another key cast member for this short film). Morgan agreed as a result that he would be in this production and even said that he was excited to be featured in a film for the first time, which made Alex and I very pleased. We therefore have decided to give it a shot by casting Morgan as our main protagonist character for this short film.

We are all very excited for the upcoming schedules for this short film and Alex and I hope we can create a really impressive film with the use of our new actors!
