We decided to put a advert up on Starnow, the site has many up and coming actors eager to act in films they like the sound of, we thought outside of the box by getting a professional actor to act out this blind roll; in order to act blind the actor would of needed to be comfortable acting and confident. We decides if we used someone who was not a professional actor the film would come out very amateurish- as a result of not having a well established actor; it could result in having a detrimental effect on the level of our work and realistic effect.
We aimed our search to boys aged between 17-19, to fit the roll perfectly of our main protagonist ‘Kieran’. Again we wanted to make the film as realistic as possible. The add was proving to be very successful in a matter of hours; applicants started flooding in due to taking a keen interest to the different script and role; a handful of the applicants stated “it is very different and catches their attention”.
Nathan’s reply was very positive and caught our attention immediately, he had a lot of previous experience and seemed like he knew exactly what the role would consist of, he had a willing nature about himself and professional attributes about him.
We later met up with him to go over the story boards and script, after the casting meeting we knew we had found a perfect fitting actor.
