These are the five interviews we filmed so we could decide who we wanted to play the protagonists in our production. By using these interviews, we can make a good, informed decision using in order to select the right person for the role.
The first person we interviewed for the part is Peter Weir. He was willing to help us for our practise camera angles filming, and was good at following instructions to what we wanted him to do. He was very calm during the filming and seemed natural in front of the camera. He understood our plot line and found it quite interesting. He hasn't had any experience acting, however he came across as a good actor during our practise so the lack of experience may not be too much of a factor.
The second person we interviewed was Ryan Morrow. His preference was to play the older character, although Ryan looks quite young and so would be more suitable for the role of the younger brother. He didn't like the plot too much as he thought it was quite plain and boring, which could become quite a big issue. When we asked about experience, he said he has done a little bit of acting, featuring in another short film about drugs and social issues.
The third person we interviewed was Matt Smith. He liked the plot, but was a bit confused on where the storyline went. This could become an issue as we need the actor to understand the plot so that they can visualise what we want from them. Like James, Matt has a beard but he said he would be willing to shave it off. Matt has had some previous acting experience, having also been in a short film as a boyfriend in a gay couple.
The fourth person is James Godwin. He is rather tall and has thick hair and has a beard, making him seem quite old. When we asked him, he said he didn't want to shave it off, which could be issue as it makes him look a lot older. However his beard is very thin so he could pass for 17. James has some acting for his YouTube channel which has over 300 subscribers, although he hasn't done YouTube for quite some time. In the interview, James came across as very professional, giving very detailed, in depth answers.
A fifth person we interviewed is Rory James. We interviewed Rory over the phone because we were not able to find a time in which we could interview him. He has had quite a lot of roles in many short films, giving him quite a bit of experience. He is good at getting into character and playing his role convincingly. He did quite a bit of acting during school and has always been improving and looking to act more. When we briefly explained the plot, he was interested to know more and sounded like he wanted to be a part of the production.

Two people that didn't make it to the interview stage for different reasons are Hanting and Kieran. Hanting is of asian ethnicity and so it would not be possible for him to be a full brother of any of the other potential actors. On top of this he didn't come across as very outgoing which would be a set back during the conversations. Kieran was not too keen on the plot although he did understand it well. Furthermore, Kieran is very tall which would make him seem older than 15/16. This would create an issue as it would be hard for the audience to realistically see the two protagonists as brothers.
The five candidates we will interview are similar age, and would work well with each other. Any combination of the four would be able to portray two brothers to the audience. They would all be able to play a part in our production and we will interview each of them to finalise two of them to act in our production out of the five of them.
