Talent scouting

I used the total of six actors for the teaser trailer. All of them were males, and their was one staff member, three students in uniform, and two sixth formers in own clothes, including myself. This blog is a detailed look at all the actors I used.

This is Thomas, he plays a student trying to make an exchange with the teacher but appears very briefly in one scene during the teaser trailer. In the the film, he plays the deuteragonist who interrupts the protagonist so that he gets caught on camera taking a bribe. 

This is my teacher who I hired for the teaser trailer. He plays a teacher who has a middle class background who pretends to the kids he's caught up with the modern generation, and is the main protagonist of the film. I think he was success in playing the culturally ignorant teacher, and there were some scenes where he stole the show when he displayed how desperate he was to get the students' respect, especially when he got bribed to turn a blind eye on a student forgetting to hand in his homework.

Jordan Murcer is one of the two sixth formers that starred in my media production.. He plays a former student at the frictional college, Ashburn college. He appears for one whole scene, and we see him be interviewed by the film crew. I think Jordan did an amazing job on playing the expelled student. He managed to do talk informally, and give out an accurate description of the teacher he punched.

This is a still of me playing one of the current students at the frictional college, Ashburn college. I appear very briefly in the teaser trailer only saying one line. The line that I say is "Do you like my crepes sir?" This scene in the trailer is suppose to be taking the mick out of the teachers middle class, posh up-bringing.  I played the character well because in the shot, I managed to keep eye contact with my teacher, did not look at the camera once, and managed to stay in character instead of laughing, and changing my tone in the shot.

This is another still in the teaser trailer of  two students who briefly have a disagreement with one another to show how poorly the teacher Mr Garrett can control his students.  These actors did not find it difficult to play the part because it was similar to their real life counterparts.
