Documentary: Casting

Documentary: Casting

For our documentary, we decided that the best way to find a presenter and guinae pig would be touse an actor, but to have them put in to real life situations, to ensure we keep actuality. 

We also neeeded to find certain people such as a nutritionist and local boot camp officials that we could interview and get hard facts from.

While casting was primarilly Alex's responsibility (although he regulaly checked in with us to update us on aplicants and we all had to approve the shortlist as a group), location and expert finding was primerilly my responsibility. 

Bellow is a screenshot of the message i sent to every local nutritionist i could track down. I mainly stuck to 1 or 2 website since they were government recognised sources and were the best way to search for and contact qualified officials. 

 

I've also been in contact with a series of local "fat camps" in the hope that they will grant us access to some of their experts and members. Bellow is a screenshot of some of the camps I contacted.

 

We also set up a short Q&A for aplicants to answer to ensure we get an outgoing relatable person that is willing to take part in the series of chalanges we have set out in our project.

Bellow is the answers we received from one of the actors we short listed.
