Short Film Research: Scouting for Male Character

It is important that before choosing my main male character, I scouted for potential actors. I tracked down three males who I would use in my film and from this, I have decided who I want to use.

Character Profile:

Lewis Taylor

DOB: 25th July 1998

Height: 5ft 8

Eye colour: Brown

Hair colour: Brown

Character Profile:

Joe Moore

DOB: 16th May 1999

Height: 5ft 8

Eye Colour: Blue

Hair Colour: Brown

Character Profile:

Luke Birkbeck

DOB: 10th October 2015

Height: 6ft

Eye Colour: Blue

Hair Colour: Brown

I have came to the conclusion that I will use candidate one for my short film. I have chosen Lewis because I feel like he will fit the description of my character perfectly. He is also very flexible for filming times.

Target A

To achieve my target my research, planning and evaluation must be detailed, effectively communicated and presented digitally, using a wide variety of formats. I need detailed
research into similar products and target audience and to show the process of planning by including excellent work on shotlists, drafts, storyboards,scripts, locations and props. I need to show full evidence of the research and
planning informing the construction process. My
evaluation must reflect my excellent understanding of forms and conventions, an understanding of the use of new media throughout the stages of production, the way my ancillary and primary tasks combine effectively. There will be an
excellent understanding of the significance of audience feedback. My production work, across the formats, will demonstrates excellent creativity and imagination as I seek to make them as convincing as possible and it will also
reflect my mastery in technical skills such as controlled use of the camera, attention to framing, variety of shot sizes, close attention to mise-en-scène, appropriate transitions and use of sound.
