During the casting, each person in our group took turns to take part playing different roles: in charge of sound, director, cameraman and photographer. This allowed us to gain some more experience and practice before our shooting day.
Reflection
When our group arrived at the studio to begin our casting, no one had brought the music and therefore, it took time off our first audition with Emma while we were trying to download it onto Sarah's phone. I thought sarah was bringing the music as I was organising the camera set up but we should have had a more structured meeting before hand with our group to confirm this. Consequently, I have learnt that when our group organises important things, such as auditions we need to have a structured meeting beforehand to sort out what each person is incharge of to avoid this happening again.
Another mistake during the casting was that Georgie walked in while Emma was auditioning. Looking back on this, one of us should have apologised to her and asked her to wait outside the studio until we called her in. As a result, Georgie decided not to audition after seeing Emma and therefore, as a group we need to consider how to deal with things more professionally in the future to avoid situations like these.
I believe our early casting however, was a great success and it taught all of us that planning and organising ahead will be a huge advantage for us thgoughout the process. We were able to secure Emma as a model for our music video for example, which now means other groups will not be allowed to use her. I also think giving the models props during the casting was successful as it showed that these will be very important for the real music video and that our group have to focus on what props will be the most suited: significant for the success of our video.
