UNIT 2
THUS CREATING A GOOD CHARACTER IMPLIES THAT YOU MUST DESIGN THAT CHARACTER IN SUCH A WAY THAT PEOPLE WILL LOVE AND RELATE TO IT ON A VERY INTIMATE LEVEL. ITS ALL ABOUT THE PERSONALITY THAT YOU EMPOWER YOUR CHARACTER WITH, AND THAT UNIQUE PERSONALITY CAN DERIVE FROM THE WAY IT LOOKS, TALKS, WALKS, THINKS, ETC. CHARACTER DESIGN CREATES LOVABLE OR MEMORABLE CHARACTERS, WHETHER THEY ARE GOOD OR BAD, CUTE OR WEIRD, HAPPY OR SAD. TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THAT A CHARACTER MUST BE DESIGNED AND NOT MAGICALLY SUMMONED INTO EXISTENCE, THERE ARE A FEW BASIC PRINCIPLES OR GUIDELINES WHICH ONE CAN USE AS THE BASE FOR CREATING A SUCCESSFUL CHARACTER. FUNCTION – STYLE – PERSONALITY – EXAMPLES 2

UNIT 5
THE MOST EXCITING AND MOVING STORY WON’T WORK IF THE CHARACTERS ARE SHALLOW AND DULL. THEREFORE THE CHARACTER CREATION SHOULD BE DONE VERY THOROUGHLY AND THE PROJECT SCHEDULE SHOULD PROVIDE A GENEROUS TIMEFRAME FOR THIS PHASE. EACH CHARACTER HAS TO BE CAREFULLY MODELED AND RESEARCHED. THE CHARACTER HAS TO BE INTRIGUING, CONVINCING AND BELIEVABLE. YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT YOU ARE WRITING ABOUT AND GET AS MUCH INFORMATION AS NECESSARY ABOUT A CERTAIN CONTEXT WHICH IS REQUIRED FOR THE CHARACTER DESIGN IN ORDER TO GET AUTHENTIC CHARACTERS. 2
UNIT 6
EMOTIONAL BONDING – CHARACTERS ARE THE HEART AND SOUL OF THE STORY. THEREFORE IT IS ESSENTIAL TO EVOKE EMPATHY, SYMPATHY OR INTEREST FOR/IN THE PROTAGONIST RIGHT FROM THE START AND ENABLE THE AUDIENCE TO CONNECT WITH HIM OR HER. AS IN REAL LIFE, FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE NOT TO BE UNDERESTIMATED: “CHARACTERS, LIKE PEOPLE, MAKE GOOD OR BAD FIRST IMPRESSIONS. WHEN CHARACTERS FIRST SHOW UP IN A STORY, WE START TO LIKE THEM – OR DISLIKE THEM – RIGHT AWAY”. BY INTRODUCING A CHARACTER TO THE AUDIENCE THE CREATOR SHOULD THEREFORE TRY TO GIVE AN INTRIGUING FIRST IMPRESSION OF THE ‘HERO’, WHICH DOESN’T MEAN THAT THE AUDIENCE NECESSARILY HAS TO LIKE HIM. 2

DEEPENING THE CHARACTER – THE CREATION OF A BACKGROUND AND CHARACTER BIBLE WILL GIVE A DEEP INSIGHT OF THE CHARACTER -HOW TO COMMUNICATE THE BACKGROUND – MOTIVE, GOALS AND NEED OF THE CHARACTER AND DEFINING THE BEHAVIOURAL PATTERN OF THE CHARACTER. 2
UNIT 9
VISUALIZATION OF THE CHARACTERS – THEIR BODY LANGUAGE (POSTURE AND GESTURE), FACIAL EXPRESSION, CLOTHING, HAIR-STYLE, MAKE-UP OR ITEMS THEY USUALLY CARRY WITH THEM CAN GIVE US HINTS ABOUT WHO THEY ARE, WHAT THEY ARE LIKE AND WHICH LIFESTYLE THEY PREFER. SINCE PHYSICAL APPEARANCE HAS OBVIOUS POWERS TO INFLUENCE HOW PEOPLE THINK ABOUT THEMSELVES AND OTHERS AND USUALLY CAN BE SEEN AS THE BASIS FOR THE FIRST IMPRESSION WE GET ABOUT SOMEONE WE MEET FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE VISUALIZATION OF A CHARACTER IS A CRUCIAL ASPECT OF CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT.
