Casting choices

We managed to find necessary number of actors who performed roles of dancers and 50’s film crew quite fast so we had a list of potential actors who might play in ‘Monroe’. After few days lots of actors changed their mind or other problems appeared so they refused to take part in this film but we still had plenty of AS students who agreed to be part of our media project.
The biggest problem was to find a girl who would be play Marilyn because we had several candidates for this role but most of them refused to play and only one gave her agree before 2 days of actual shooting day but the day after she refused so we started to look for new actress desperately and succeeded in it, so new Marilyn was an AS student Joan de Boer and she fit her role perfectly in a pink dress, elbow length gloves and curly hair wig, she was right as a real Marilyn Monroe.
All dancers wore formal black suits which Gaby and Heather managed to find in Theatre department with other different coloured suits in which other actors were dressed who performed roles of filming crew members.
They looked exactly we wanted to, as 50’s gentlemen and of course Marilyn who was fantastic in her dress and surrounded by different aspects of the mis-en-scene.
