We talked through the assessment brief

Got given information about different character castings and advised which ones we should send a self tape for.

Performer:

As one of my roles was performer, I was contacted by Sophie and Lucy, the assistant directors, that they wanted me to audition for Grace, so I filmed my self tape for the role of 'Grace', and read through the first draft of the script.

Performer:

I was casted Agent 2, so i spent my time looking over my lines and talking to Agent 1 about how we may perform so we are as in sync as possible. I spoke to costume/makeup about ideas for what my character might wear and decided on the idea that both agents should be really pale- inhumane-like to give the creepy, ghostly effect they are going for. We discussed a date with cast to organise a rehearsal/ read-through.

Preparing my costume choices

Learning my lines

Exploring my character using Uta Hagen's 6 Steps

Researching female AI characterisation by watching the the show 'Humans'.

Researching a 90s formal, British, female accent

I had trouble with train delays and therefore missed this session but was informed by peers that they rehearsed shots in chronological order, so i was sent the shot lists and floor plawn to be familiar with where i should stand in the scenes

Performer

Walked through the interview scene and had a first grasp of how my fellow agent is going to perform and communicated advice for each other

Got more comfortable with the lines

This session we were free to catch up with our departments. So i spoke to my fellow actors about their characterisation, feeling more of a understanding of the film

I also rehearsed my characterisation looking at Meinser's acting techniques and using his exercises.

Podiatry Clinic: First Introduction to my character.

This is the first time I've worn my costume and makeup fully- there was a bit of a rush with the costume department when finding me a waistcoat but they managed to buy one just before I was on set. I wore a black blazer, smart tailored trousers, a black long sleeved top and my hair slicked back in a bun. My face makeup was pale to create this idea of an inhumane, robotic figure.

We split the day into 2, The first half we did the Scene 12 (Hospital Emergency Scene) - I had no lines in this one, the agents stood at the door and stared at Grace.

The 2nd half we filmed Scene 13 ( Interview Room):

I enjoyed getting into character but it was hard to properly portray emotion for my 'emotionless' character. I just kept a straight face and a stern glance. I focused on my physicality, standing and sitting straight, intimidating Grace while still being robotic- I took inspiration from the series 'Humans' and how they create robotic characters.

Performer:

In this scene, we were just instructed to walk into the Magistrates Court and take a shot of Noah on the camera to send him back in time.

Both agents exchanged a nod which i thought looked effective when portraying them in sync

We were instructed to walk in sync too enhancing this robotic ness.

We were limited on time so didn't get many takes.

Bolton Town Hall:

This day was majority based around the agents, we filmed in the prison cells, the time travel agency office corridors and time travel agency office.

Performer:

We got to set early and made a quick start. On the schedule our first scene was with the prisoners- we completed all 4 shots. I had difficulty when it came to staying in frame but managed to overcome this by setting marks on the floor so it was easy to navigate where I needed to be.

After lunch, we started the scene with the agents and senior agent. We found this difficult with props as we had trouble with the briefcase but eventually got through it.

We knew our lines so we had minimal takes, and I enjoyed being able to get into character more with the larger amount of lines I had.

My scenes were over so focussed on my role on camera.
