Pre-Production Unit- Casting and Difficulties

Recently we have decided to begin confirming our cast of characters for Inoculum. We have received a number of applicants from our StarNow advertisement and have begun realistically considering which actors would be most suitable for each role, and which we could realistically bring in for production. Things that are important for us to consider when doing this is the amount of experience each actor has, the way in which the characters look and their acting styles and how far away each actor resides so that we could realistically bring them to our film locations affordably.

As mentioned in a previous blog post, we have offered in our advertisement to pay for the travel expenses of each actor, as we cannot offer them a full wage. This will take up an amount of our budget for this film (which we have yet to fully organise)  and as such the cost of bringing each actor in for each shoot will probably be a deciding factor when it comes to choosing which would be best for us.

As you can see from this list of applicants on the Starnow advertisement, we have at least 2 applicants for each role, but unfortunately, there have been no applications for Delaney at the moment. My job at this point will be to carry on posting the project idea to various websites so that we have more of a chance of recruiting an actress to play Delaney.

It is also essential that I carefully consider the pros and cons of the current applicants so that I can add to our shortlist and arrange for a meeting with these actors and actresses before the submission date of our Preproduction package.
