''Memorize the script like it depends on your life''.
I've been sent the script by the trimester 5 group that I am working with. It is official, I am going to be their first assistant director. I have read the script and I should say that I am actually really looking forward to working with the group and witnessing the production come to life.
This sunday, I participated in an entertaining class. We were taught how to cast actors the right way. Many things that Resh said seemed obvious but it's so easy to forget about the little things to hold the perfect casting audition. We were asked to create a flyer related to our group work. It is a flyer for a casting call. We worked on it and the very same day all of the group posted it on their social media platforms. Few hours later, we had a flood of people requesting to join the auditions. That same night, we were all overwhelmed and excited. Our producer, Maryam, arranged the casting and booked out the green screen room. We printed out scripts and forms for them to fill out. On the day of the casting, everything was quite hectic at first. I was in charge of managing the people who had to go in and keep the flow going. It's is difficult to deal with people at times but we all ended up taking it professionally and having fun at the same time. We auditioned 15 actors, which was an unexpected turn out. Being the editor of the group, I have to edit the video and send it back to the group so they can assess the actors they need to decide on. We will soon hold a second casting audition, where all the actors will perform with each other. I cannot wait to see how that will turn out.
