Our actors

We held auditions to help us decide who we would choose as our actors. They had a synopsis of the story and were given a script plus the opportunity to improvise.
However, though we filmed this, when we gave the tape to the I.T technicians at our college they misplaced it.
Fortunately, I filmed a video of Emily and Charlotte giving our responses to the auditions and who we had picked:

And this is the auditions script we used, which was deliberately vague so the actors were forced to improvise so we could see how they could respond:

Script

Females:

You are a rich girl who lives in the 1800’s, and you are in your late teens.

1: Imagine you are spying on someone through a keyhole and you see something shocking.

2: Imagine you are being watched by a judgemental group of people and you have to pretend to be upset about something.

3: Improvisation

Males:

You are a man in his early twenties and you live in the 1800’s.

1: Pretend you are getting drunk in an alley. You drop the bottle and it smashes.

2: Imagine that you are flirting with someone, but in a subtle way.

3: Improvisation
