extras for x number of shooting days at a small fixed price or volunteer basis. hopefully you will be able to get enough people to move forward.
when working with the extras you have to make sure that they fit in the scene perfectly. make sure that they are dressed appropriately for the scene and the time period. you must never let them look at the camera, which is the most important thing to make clear to all extras. when someone looks at the camera it immediately ruins the take as it does not maintain the illusion of the story space.
make sure to get the same photo release form from all
