We made another Hot Seating for our character 'Gary'. We wanted to further develop this character because he has an interesting and in-depth background of being a War Photographer. Gary having this previous job has created challenges for himself to come over, however he does not help himself as he blocks everyone out. Gary's personality have shown through his blunt and emotionless character by not having a huge amount to say about his own daughters. We did a simple Q&A which is hugely effective to give an insight into the reality.
We gave Gary questions to answer about his family especially his two daughters and his response showed a clear difference between the two. He expressed his favoritism towards Emily and the lack of for Alice showing an evident divide within the family dynamics. This has been evident when asked about Emily he says 'better' and that she is more of a 'success' and when Alice is mentioned he is more cold and blunt.
The last questions asks about his previous job and Gary shows a clear hatred towards this and snaps and becomes very angry when he is asked further about his previous job. This suggests that being a War photographer has mentally effected him year later.
Behind the scenes

Excellent work, team! You have shown great initiative and creativity in securing such an appropriate and confident actor for the part. You have clearly prepped well for the shoot. Well done all round.
