Before I create my storyboard or get into the deep stages of planning, I have to make that sure I can recruit the necessary actors, or else I will have to use different and available actors, and therefore modify the plot and themes of my film. To recruit the actors for my film, I will hang a poster outside of my class room, with my contact information, and conduct a casting call.
The reason I chose to do a casting call to gain actors, is because it is the same method Disney uses to gain it's child actors. This method is especially useful in a school setting, as lots if kids come in and out of classes, some of which will have to meet the criteria I need for my film. Since every student is busy at different parts of the day, I will travel to their classes when they are free, so that I can get an in depth interview with them, without costing them worktime.
After I conduct my casting call, which will be partially recorded, I will look over the results and see who would be best for each actor. I need 3 actors total, being the homeless man, the protagonists, and someone to either voice over or act as the protagonists parent.
