Thriller Audience Auditions

We needed to do some auditions before we went out to film so we knew who the best people was to act and how they were going to make our thriller opening successful.
Some of the people that we used was part of our thriller opening however some wasn't, but we needed a scale of people to audition so we had people to choose from.
The audition was for the protagonist and the antagonist, seeing how people would fir into that character role and if they were successful or not.
It is only 0:27 seconds longs as we took clips from each person as we did not want to show the whole audition but enough to see if they fit into playing that particular role.
The first person that auditioned was Ross who auditioned for the protagonist, next was Becky again for the protagonist, seeing if the gender made any difference. We found that having a female protagonist made them feel more victimised which would create tension a lot quicker as women are see as the 'weaker' gender and not able to protect themselves as much as men unless they're an anti-stereotype.
next, we auditioned for the antagonist. Scott played this part well as he has the broadness and height which made him more threatening to the protagonist and be more dominant against the protagonist as he may come across more threatening than someone smaller.
Overall, the auditions went well and we found parts that people could play therefore giving the people the correct parts in the thriller opening.
