For both AS and A2 part of your R+P marks are for casting, as part of
your overall organisation of the production. The markscheme quite
accurately reflects the range of challenges facing commercial
film-makers and video producers.
I stumbled across the following
vid looking for something else, but it is a useful example of how you
can use video and social networks not just to get 'audience feedback'
but also to help with pre-production tasks too.
The typical
student production gets cast informally through approaching friends;
that's fair enough, but doesn't help with respect to evidencing
'organisation of actors'. Being able to evidence effort made to reach
out for cast, and film some brief clips of a casting session would be
highly beneficial. It would also help you clarify precisely what your
notion of each character is! Plus - you may well encounter unexpected
volunteer actors that you don't currently know too well socially.
If
any of you do get such vids made, I can email round tutor groups, ask
to get them screened in assemblies, or screened in the P-16 centre
during lunchtime (while you guys can of course take to Twitter, FB etc
and push them yourselves)(I was searching in YouTube;
try 'slasher openings' and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at
some of the most prominent results in this global site!)
