We are now going to begin the casting process, once we know the capability of our actors available to us, we will be able to storyboard to create scenes that they will be capable of performing to a high standard. In the professional industry, the casting would be completed by a casting team, a casting director would contact an agency and the agent would send forward a few selected professional individuals who fit their casting brief. They would then go to the audition where they would be put up against various other individuals from other agencies and the casting director would continue to shortlist the actors throughout a series of recalls where they would do screen tests and possibly even meet the director, and eventually the team will pick one of the actors to fulfill their role. In our media project, we do not have the budget/funding to complete the casting process in a professional manner, although, we can find some amateur actors from local drama schools or friends we have that work in the performing arts industry who have some experience.

- This image almost looks as if the girl is playing with another person, but she is alone. Simmilar to our protagonist lucy who will be playing 'alone' but chloe will be 'there'. This would be a good shot idea.
- A shot like this represents a normal family setting, this is essential in our trailer as our target audience wished for a family setting to be presented, and it also would make our trailer conform to the stereotypical 'drama' genre conventions.
- The shot of a concerned mother would be essential for the 'drama' aspect of our film. The audience would be able to connect with jenny (the mother) properly and relate to her emotions. 
- Genreal shot of children playing would make the trailer more believable, the audience need to see chloe to beleieve she is real.
- The emotional shot of a distressed mother cradling her daughter makes the audience really connect with the characters. A shot like this in our trailer would be essential for the drama aspect. We are determined to capture our target audiences attention effectively by creating emotion-provoking scenes like this.
From this teacher feedback i have learnt that i need to develop more visual means of presenting my work, although i already use various ways of presenting, it's beginning to become quite repetitive. Therefore i will now research different methods of presenting and i am also keen to use 'Sound Cloud' and video (Mp4) format. This should enable me to reach my target and achieve the highest grade possible if i continue to work at the level i have been awarded.
