Character Auditions

Character Auditions

Our group decided to hold character auditions to ensure we get the correct actors for the role who can portray the 'Stalker' and 'Innocent Girl' as the best way possible. It was important for the main character of the stalker to be well chosen to make the production as authentic as possible and to create an engaging enigma surrounding the deranged mind of the stalker. The character of the 'Innocent Girl' known as 'Sarah', was also an important role as we had to choose a specific type of person who fits the character traits of the role, such as being fashionable for her age, the ability to act different emotions such as fear and have a clear voice. We held three auditions from each role of Vincent (stalker) and sarah (innocent girl) in order to get the best fit for the role. We decided to go with Matthew Clark for the role of the stalker as his presence allowed his character to become mysterious whilst also retaining a 'normal' trait through the use of costume and actions. We also decided to go with Lucy Parsons for the role of the 'Innocent Girl' as she had a clear voice and an ability to effectively bump into the other characters, a key aspect for the scene. Upon picking the characters, we carried out some test shots prior to the actual filming of the scenes.
