Casting call out

With groups formed and concept development underway, we need to turn our attention to getting Ready to Shoot (part of PB4) and the Pitch & Proposal content (PB3). From next week onward, you’ll need to get your casting underway.

Your group has some freedom as to how you go about this, but I would highly recommend using StarNow.  It’s very simple to set up a casting call-out, and the site has a lot of traffic, so you should expect at least a few responses.

However you choose to cast, can you all please include the following text in the call-out:

This is an official RMIT BComm Media student production – all actors and crew are covered by public liability insurance. Actors will be treated with respect, will be well informed, well fed and will have footage or finished content delivered promptly at the end of the production. Any production related costs incurred by actors will be reimbursed. If any problems arise with this production and the students involved please contact Jeremy Bowtell, Lecturer in Media & Communication, RMIT (jeremy.bowtell@rmit.edu.au).

 

It is vitally important that you are professional and attentive in all of your correspondence with actors (and, of course, anyone else involved in your production).  I would recommend creating a casting call out as soon as possible – you can do this with (at a minimum) a working title, basic outline of key characters, and intended locations – you don’t need scripts ready to go just yet.
