Actor Screening test

 After our winter break we took the screening test of our potential actors. For the lead male character we had a few in mind. One of them was Abdul Rehman Doraiz. We took a screening test and almost cast him.Following are some of the test shots we got of him:

 However, Due to some scheduling issues we decided to cast someone else.

Then we decided on a junior, an AS student Umer who had a lot of free time and was ready to act even if we had to reshoot for any reason. In addition he was very enthusiastic and showed excitement to work in the project so we casted him as our artist and actor. I will be inserting a picture of Umer:


For the female actor, we didnt have to look much because our editor, Zara agreed to act for us. This was more feasible as she will be highly motivated and she also has previous acting experience, In addition we will have less  scheduling issues as she will be available. Plus, this will give her an opportunity to be more involved in the shooting process which will inevitably help her in the editing. I will be uploading some screen testing shots:
