Character Development

     Character Development

    Hi again! Now that my partner and I created the script for our movie opening, we have to discuss character development. Character development is something crucial that needs to happen one way or another within the movie's opening. 

Character development within a thriller is super important because it decides how much the audience can fully connect with said characters. For our movie opening, we plan to make the two main characters, who are best friends, have contrasting personalities. One of them is super cautious and scared, while the other is braver, ignoring the reality of the situation.

The difference between the personalities will create tension and contrast between the friends. As their decision making will be completely different when danger within the opening appears. I will try to show this contrast between the two friends before and during the main event within the opening.

Throughout the opening we will use different camera shots to create this bridge between the friends. At the beginning of the opening, we will use two shots to show the bond between the friends, then later on we will focus on individual close-ups as they begin to doubght eachothers decisions. Sound is also crucial to building both of the main characters, as it will help show their emotional states through heavy breathing and silence.

Near the end of the opening, I want to make the friend who was originally super confident and brave become more scared and aware of the situation. Or I could also make the friend who was originally cautious and scared take control of the situation.
