Developing Characters

Developing Characters

Main character should be HOST of the party

They should not be ordinary

They should be realistic, make them appear real.

How to create characters besides background?

DIALOGUE

ACTION

ENVIRONMENT

CLOTHES: HOW DO PEOPLE judge by the clothes that is worn

Or the hairstyle

Characters should change, they should develop.

Title

DOes your title say what the show is about ?  will be good if it does.

Deja VU -2

Today in Class we were talking about WEBEPISODES

 I was mentioning about one of the web-episodes I am working on ,n how we are planning on getting a Major hollywood actor in one of our shows to make it a popular, n  this lovely Mexican lady asks me how are we getting him into the show.

 n I was like - I know his niece ,

n she is - Oh ya ? who is she ?

I tell her who she is and ask her -  Do You know him ?

She is _ yup, he is my husband ;)

Oh well It is indeed a small world after all

Talking of web episodes-  make them

1.     simple

2.     be clear

3.     short but can laugh about it

4.     idea is to build a fan base

5.     create a community

6.     merchandising is huge

while making web episodes,

think  what’s it about

CHARECTERS

CONFLICT

WHATS UNIQUE

PRODUCTION VALUE

EG:

THE GUILD

AWKWARD BLACK GIRL

GAYTOWN

MAKING FRIENDS

TO NAME A FEW.
