In my script i originally had 3 characters: Rob (7), Elisabeth (35) and Malcolm (60).
Casting actors is nothing new to me since I've done this for a lot of the short films I've worked on earlier. That said, although the procedure of casting adults is more or less the same here in the UK and in Norway, casting kids is apparently not.
If you're making a student film in Norway you make a post on a casting website looking for a kid, get the parents consent and you're ready to go.
With CastingCallPro (and the other casting websites i looked at) you have to give the kid a minimum salary of 55£ per day and cover the expenses (+ have one of the parents on sett and fill out some paperwork).
With this message in mind I was quickly forced to rewrite my script as 110£ isn't something I have in my back pocket and I dont fancy having a instant noodle-diet until Christmas.
Changing the beginning that way made me decide to get rid of Elisabeth (Rob's mother) and their apartment as an extra location since this would save me for a lot of time and extra work, both in preproduction and on set.
Rob Wescott
18 years old
18 years old
Student, last year in college
Lives alone with his dog, Diko
Sporty and funny
Social, but struggling to find new friends
The story is still more or less the same as the original, about Malcolm Caine cleaning the local beach in his daughter's place and then meets Rob Wescott who manage to break down Malcolm's mental wall.
I decided not to change Malcolm's character as i like his character quite a lot, nor changing my two locations which is the beach and Malcolm's house.
I'm currently working on an ending for my script as i can't use the old one since the script will be too short if i so, and i also want to make the ending more interesting than i had planned in the first draft.
