One page summary of my final project
ONE PAGE SUMMARY
BA WORK BASED LEARNING TITLE:
SENSE IMAGINATION SESSIONS IN CREATING A CHARACTER
Reassessing my Module 2 feedback, I was content with the remarks on my approach and reflection. However- ‘my research proposal, is at it stands a little woolly around the edges.’
I can relate to that and will endeavour to clarify my proposal.
THE PLAN
A character actor and I (as director) will film five scenes from a popular text using a different sense from the basic five per scene.
The aim to create a performance more interesting, raw and intriguing than using other, more drawn out processes.
We will rehearse the scenes using the technique which we will document through film and filmed interviews. Then we shall film the scenes proper. Lastly upon viewing the footage we shall judge and ascertain whether my sense imagination technique was greater in aiding the actor in his process than his usual approach.
Ethically, we shall endeavour to keep any obvious hardship to a minimum and the actor shall strictly agree to voice all restrictions to any suggestions when rehearsing.
The final artefact will be a blueprint for finding a path into the imagination which will not only locate a quick and easy approach to finding the character but shall reveal a short, compact rehearsal process strengthening the actor’s choices and revealing fast access to the emotion and action within the text.

top 5 resources
Spotlight link
casting call pro
Constant casting
Castnet
Talent circle
I am a member of the above websites and they update me everyday with new jobs coming in. Sometimes I wonder why I am being offered the chance to audition for an eighty year old authentic Eskimo but that’s the carpet bombing emailing from Spotlight.
There are more auditions through Casting Call Pro but only 25% of their jobs are paid.
Constant Casting can be more of a cattle market extras needed.
Castnet has brought me good roles but mainly Student films
Talent Circle is worth a look now and then.
I have tried other websites; Shooting People, Stage online but they can be worse than my listed sites at the present time.
Conclusion…get a good agent or start writing like I did, save some cash and put on your own damn play
