Main Character Casting Discussion

During another constructive non contact session in today's school day, Myself, Pav and Jordan decided we would begin planning for our Casting section of the planning and research section of the process. We decided just to look into the casting for our main character, the character who wishes to expose the Illuminati. With Joseph absent for a consecutive day we had to crack on and couldn't wait for him to recover. We took ourselves over to our usual destination and the brainstorming began the same way it has in weeks gone by.

Pav wished to take a leading role in this discussion, wanting everyone to improve their skills and stepped down from my usual lead role and let him work his magic. Immediately I suggested we should do our brainstorm in a wish list, branched of the central brain of  'Casting - What do we want?'. Myself, Pav and Jordan all got into deep discussion as to what it is we need in are main character, we came up with a number of different aspects we wish for them to have. Below is what we came up with:

Desired aspects for lead role (Click to view larger) 

Instead of writing about each desired attribute we wish for our lead role actor to have. I came up with this idea and straight away we realised that we weren't prepared well enough to give a PodCast, knowing this I decided to write up a script during my own time, this is shown being used by Jordan and Pav below during the PodCast session.

 We decided to take the voice recording of it on Pav's iPod, he then emailed me this audio clip and I used Sony Vegas to edit it down including merging clips and trimming down clips. I then saved this file as an MP4 and uploaded it to my already made SoundCloud account, I have embedded this PodCast Below, Enjoy.

Casting Discussion 06/12/11 by JackWhiteAS

Despite being with Joseph we feel this meeting has benefited the group hugely as we now have a clear idea of what type of look we are aiming for with our Main Character, it means we can visual our final product even more and adapt any faults and flaws we find. This is all important in the journey to creating the perfect teen horror opening, we will inform Joe of all going-ons of today and will help him get up to date with what he has missed. Now this is in place we will look into Casting ideas for the secondary character who plays the suspicious figure of the Illuminati, the masked man, this should be alot easier as they only feature briefly and doesn't require much acting at all, we have been discussing the idea of one of the group featuring in this role, further discussion will take place tomorrow and we will update as and when it happens.
