About the Scenes

Description

Struggling actor Ian is hopeful after his agent, Morty, books him an audition. But Morty didn’t read the casting call very carefully (if at all) and Ian, despite his best efforts, isn’t exactly what the filmmakers are looking for.

Director's Note

A solid challenge without being overwhelming, “The Audition” is a great project for beginners. It contains two dialog scenes with standard coverage; however, because each scene features more than two characters, editors must think a bit harder about who should be on screen. As with the rest of YIKES!, the toughest part of editing “The Audition” is creating Ian’s “flash-forwards,” which are essentially mini-montages that disrupt the time and space of the audition scene. “The Audition” is also the perfect choice for those seeking material that’s diverse as well as comedic.
