Casting

=
Your group must decide on current actors to play the main roles of Taming of the Shrew. Casting is one of the most critical aspects to movie making. As a group you must justify your choices of actors to the head of the studio. Some things to consider when choosing actors might be..."Do they have the look?" "Have they acted in similar roles in the past?" and "Do they have chemistry with the other actors cast?"======

With your group, discuss which current actors you would like to cast for each of the above parts. Take one class period to research and discuss your possible choices. Use the second class period to enter your choices into the "Casting Form" and then write a paragraph explaining why you chose each particular actor for each particular role (i.e. one paragraph per role/actor.) Submit your "Casting Explanation" to The Head of the Movie Studio (Miss Brenneman).

Utilize the "International Movie Data Base" to research the actors you are thinking about casting for the different roles.

Project Steps: 1. As a group brainstorm actors and actresses to play the different roles. 2. Utilize the "International Movie Data Base" to conduct your research. 3. Decide on your final decisions and fill out the "Casting Form."
