Casting Application Forms
For the Casting I tried to pick out the best websites that suit the theme and look at the applications forms.I had to also pick out the best and popular one that was reliable and trustworthy for us to get out the best actors that we can find.
CastingCallPro
Casing call pro is the best online recruitment that, with over 37,260 casting directors and employer already this was our best option to take for getting actors.
To be unseen
To be unseen is also have reliable sources for casting director, is quick to apply, the workflow is much easier to get actors, an actor can apply directly to the job description
The Stage
The stage is also a resources, however this website seem to be more related to theater than film, however this still is a great option to take for getting casts for our short film.
Starnow
Starnow, is mostly great for getting extra on board, since we need 10 extra, it will b more easier to get extras than professional actors. to be honest, this would be our last option for casting.
BUDGET FOR ACTORS
This is just the Budget for the actors, I try to estimate the travel expenses and food cost for the five actor and the locations for each locations. This means I have to create the scripts and look for all the characters an there locations. Here is the link to the page
I tried to research on the Lotus flowers and what it conveys, it symbolism in the religious and spiritual sense. I looked at different types of religions and the difference in meaning in different culture. I see if this can link into my project, to try and see if I can get any ideas and inspiration for this.
Lotus Flower look pure and clean when around the dirty flower, The Lotus Flower is a represent the purity and cleanness, it can interpreted in many different ways in different religion such as Buddhism and Hinduism.
Buddhism
In Buddhism the Lotus flower is represented as purity and spiritual awakening, it is described as a flower that is emerge in a dirty water and perfectly clean. This is a sign of rebirth in addition to the idea of purity. This lead into spiritual awakening, with the enlightenment.
The Pink Lotus Flower
In buddhism there are many color that symbolizes different meaning, however the pink lotus flower is considered to be the supreme of all.
The reason being is because the constant cycle the pink Lotus flower has to face, in the morning it goes up through the muddy pond and open up its petals, until the during the night the petal close again. Despite the constant emerging in the dirty pond the lotus flowers is still clean.
So the Lotus flower is considered a Sacred symbolism of rebirth, the state of the Lotus Flowers is representation as one person as the flowers as the heart,
There are other Lotus flower that symbolizes the same such as the white Lotus flower which symbolizes purity as well. but that is portrayed in Hinduism, of the Lotus Flower.
His bright blossom shares a wealth of symbolic portent. It does this most intensely in the East. China, Japan and Egypt all hold the lotus in high reverence. In fact, Ted Andrews (for whom I am totally cray cray) wrote: "The lotus is to the East, as the rose is to the West."
From sludgy, slimy waters, this brilliant blossom emerges. This is major symbolism folks. It is the metaphor for life as we know it.
poopy situation that counts. Sure... we can crawl under our misery, never lifting our heads to the light that beckons us. That's always an option. Or, we can be like the lotus. We can make the best of our crummy environment and rise above. Lotus flower meanings are all about aspiring to express, to live, to share beauty.
Humans often thrive when faced with brutal circumstances. This perplexes me. I often wonder why are the bad times more giving of lessons and change than the good times? Why can't we learn from joy? I suppose it's because we need to squat in the crud for awhile so we can be motivated to get out of the bog.
I looked for casting rooms, for auditions we might do in the 22nd of November. I would look for cheap deals for us to do an Audtion.

I decided to do some research in the to develop and expand my idea, I watching Girl on the train as it has a similar idea to mine, the films is about a woman called Rachel who always watches a perfect couple while she is in a journey in the train, however in reality Megan is unhappy with her life and wants to start her life over, however news reported her missing, girl on the train had a much more complicated plot when watching the film, the plot and narrative of the film help me a lot in visual and the character them. Here is the trailer to see what is all about.
This film was adapted to a book and it was interesting in which the film has been, it does a great job, making a character that shows mental illness and to put that into perspective, and we sympathies with rachel as she goes through her day to day lives drunk, the monologues in the beginning of the film, implies to what she think a perfect couples be as she watch the two couples on the balcony, and her thought of when she used to have this life, as she reminisce to something she doesn't have. However this is only Rachel thought, and perspective as the film get the instinct to the who rachel watches everyday which is megan, you start to realise that is was false representation and even for megan she doesn't feel satisfied with her life, and she explains through her monologue her disatifaction of her life and what she portrayed to be.
This film definitely gave me clarity as to what I want my short film to be about, I definitely want to play around in the idea of false thought that a character thinks, making false actuzation on something which isn't true and implying the idea of deception and liars that you tell yourself.leading the audience one way however making the audience lead the other way, I think the subject I am covering is very complicated, and i need to make sure.
