Casting: evalution

Overall, as director having the role of choosing the actors, I think my choice for Raza to be the main protagnist was very wise because due to him being part of the group and knowing how important it was for us as a group to meet certain deadlines, he was there. He also knew the story inside out, bringing a grat advantage to hid acting skill, making him look more natural and realistic, despite him not being an skilled actor. Also even if did end making changes within the storyline, we did not have to explain it, due to him already being there.

The next hard job was finding an actress for Raza, someone to act oposite him and be his love interest. As a group we decided to have Hina's friend to act oposite Raza.

But, once we got there the first day of shooting, Raza brought his girlfirend Uzma and wanted her eto be the leading girl. This made things hard, having asked the other girl to do it, but as a group we pulled together and explained to the girl who did not made. As Raza felt more comfortable with Uzma doing love scenes.

However, once on the screen Raza and Uzma's chemistry came out on the screen lookig natural and realistic. They also did have to learn the script, line to line, as they improvised and felt really comfortable flirting and being together.

Although, later on Uzma was not available, due to exams, so we could not re shoot her scenes that came out wrong due to the camera, but we stayed calm and with Phill and Sarahs help fixed the problem.
