After our first day of filming we had to alternate what our character Tyler would wear. As her original clothes were too dark and blended in with the background, we made sure she wore a bold outer layer - hence the red jacket (the red may also foreshadow danger). The other clothes stay relatively similar - the top changed due to weather conditions (it was very cold) and we decided to change her shoes to reflect our characters' youthfulness and innocence.

We think this would best represent our character Charlie. The style is youthful, and the white top hints to her innocence and protagonism. Additionally, our character will wear natural make up to further show her innocence. The use of a black jacket may oppose protagonist stereotypes but conforms to current styles - it also foreshadows the dangers the character will face.

Tyler Munson
Again, I loved Tyler's audition as she was really into the character and wasn't shy. She made Harry feel more comfortable in performing in front of people. Additionally, Tyler's shown great enthusiasm in being a part of our production. Although Harry put her off occasionally, and though she was sitting down and not really using body language when auditioning, we still feel as though her performance was outstanding. We have therefore decided to cast her.
Luke Adams
I enjoyed Luke's audition as he was enthusiastic and confident. He was a natural in front of the camera and made the character his own. However, I felt like Luke's performance wasn't suited to the character he auditioned for - that being said, his over-dramatic performance could be considered for our antagonist character. As we haven't seen anybody else suitable for our antagonist role, we decided to cast him.
Sophie
I liked Sophie's professionalism and pronunciation. Having only just giving her and Charlotte the script, both were very quick to get into character. Unfortunately, Sophie couldn't make our filming dates, so we were not able to cast her.
Charlotte
I really liked how confident Charlotte was, and how quick she was to get into character. Like Sophie, she was very professional and it only took one take to get this shot. However, Charlotte didn't really want to be appointed a character in our film opening, so unfortunately we couldn't cast her.
Lauren
I liked that Lauren read clearly, however she didn't make an effort to make the character her own. That being said, she didn't particularly want to be cast as she wanted to focus on filming and working behind the camera, rather than be in front of it. For this reason, we decided not to cast her.
Samantha
I really appreciated Sam's audition as she didn't really want to do it but tried for us anyway. She kept to the script, but wasn't very confident, kept laughing and coming out of character. We decided not to cast Sam in our production.
Sam
I really liked Sam's audition as he was really confident and a natural in front of the camera. He was expressive and worked excellently with Dan. Unfortunately, he couldn't make our filming dates and only really auditioned for fun - which is why it took several takes to gain a successful short scene. We made the decision not to cast him.
Dan
I enjoyed Dan's audition as he was overdramatic and worked really well with Sam. However, he didn't really want the part and couldn't make our filming dates either. We did not cast him.
Lydia
I really enjoyed Lydia's audition as she was confident, expressive and worked really well with Harry. Unfortunately however, Lydia had other commitments and thus couldn't make filming dates. Consequently, we couldn't cast Lydia in our production.
Harry
I liked Harry's audition as he was professional, expressive and worked well with Lydia. However, he was cast in another group's production and due to clashing filming dates, wasn't able to be cast in our film opening too - hence Harry was not cast for our production.
Tyler
I really liked Tyler's audition - I thought she was very expressive and worked really well with Cydney. When we asked her about making filming dates, she told us that she was available as she didn't have any other commitments. The only thing I wasn't as keen on was the length of her solo audition as it was very short - though this isn't down to Tyler. Due to this, we have decided to re-audition Tyler, as we are really interested in casting her.

Cydney
I really liked Cydney's audition because she was very expressive and a natural in front of the camera. She was comfortable and worked well with Tyler. However, it took a lot of takes for one short shot as she didn't take it seriously all the time. Additionally, Cydney also wasn't able to make filming dates - unfortunately, we had to make the decision not to cast her.

Sarah
I really like the way Sarah pronounced her words, and we thought her general look was very unique and suitable for on screen. However, she stays herself rather than adapting to her character. She didn't take the auditions seriously and wasn't committed to the role - for these reasons, we decided not to cast her.
