Extra to play court typist - asylum seekers short film courtroom drama
Job ID: 11666
Job Specifics:
Details:
We are making a short 2 minute drama film for social media, to raise awareness of injustices asylum seekers face in court and encourage support for charity Asylos (http://asylos.eu) It's a mini courtroom drama with a twist, about two asylum seekers: a couple who escaped violence and death in their homeland... who it turns out are Romeo and Juliet.
The alternative ending to their story: it's being sent back by the court that leads to their death, like many real asylum seekers' cases, because the burden of proof on them is unfairly high.
The role is playing a court reporter. In some of the shots, you would be pretending to type down what is said by the other characters as if it is a real court case. There are no speaking lines and you would mostly be in the background of shots.
It's a 4-hour shoot from 1-5pm on Wednesday 2nd September in central London. We'll pay you 50 pounds.
You would need to wear your own clothes -- any reasonably smart blouse / dress / cardigan would be fine (we'll only see your upper half). See here for what a typical court recorder would wear: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=court+reporter&rlz=1CASMAE_enGB654GB654&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAmoVChMIvv6R25PMxwIV50vbCh1FoAe3&biw=1093&bih=561&dpr=1.25
