Today we held auditions at my college in order to try and cast the roles of Charlotte (the female protagonist) and Adam (the artist who she meets at the end of the film). We did not know how many actors were going to turn up, and were surprised when 14 auditioned. Me, Pip, Rory and Liam were present, and took notes as the actors auditioned.
The actors filled out a contact sheet and then were given 10 minutes to read through the script, before we started the auditions. We began by auditioning each actor for Charlotte separately using the opening kitchen scene, but then realised that this would take too long, so auditioned males and females together using the penultimate scene where Charlotte and Adams exchange notes, in order to see how the two interacted. This was a difficult scene as it includes no dialogue, although we were more interested in body language and facial expressions.
We filmed the auditions in order to show to the rest of the group and to help us decide who to cast (video is in reverse order):
