Ideas & Structure: The Character's Design

An important part of any film is the choices of character, the design of them and what role they play. Dividing the ideas and research them you can categorize into 4 aspects of that character. Whether it is the protagonist, who is the main character and we go through the movie with their experiences. Typically the protagonist is the ‘good guy’ but doesn’t necessarily always be ‘good’ or the antagonist – the cause to all the conflict. You then look at dialogue of the character, their speech, how they talk, and choice of vocabulary to determine what type of person they are and lastly not to be too stereotypical, nobody wants to see the typical simple character with no originality.  

We can then look at appearance, choice of clothing – matches personality? Action, what does the character actually do and how? Interaction, is the character relatable are they similar to any other characters – is there a connection?
