Character Creating

21st October 2014

In this lesson we started to work on creating some characters and the ways in which we could create those characters. Splitting the page into 3 columns, first narrative, second detail, and third background/context, we had just write and not stop what we were doing, I found this very helpful as I was able to just write nonsense down on paper but when reading it actually made sense. I created a character called Kayla, she is the person who is being followed and later on begins to be controlled by another character. In order to do this task I created an image of a person in my head and just wrote down attributes that I thought this character would have, for example Kayla had some problems in her life so I made the character look older than she should look. I am unsure if I will actually use this character in my film but the method of creating the character really helped me think up a character. Not being able to stop writing makes you write exactly what is in your mind, you do not have time to change what you think because instantly this is already written. I should take some time to do this in my own time. My understanding of making work has improved because I slowing learning many more methods.
