I have started to write down character biographies for my main two characters in my script. I have mad sit my priority to make ‘Maria’ and ‘Freeman’ have two very different personalities and attitudes towards life. Making ‘Maria’ the classical, shy and traditional young woman and ‘Freeman’ the modern, laid back and extrovert character. By doing this I’m applying Seger’s thought on ‘contrasting characters’ to show that opposites do attract.
I also plan on writing two scripts to see which one I feel is better and fits to the brief more. Both of these stories are based on dreams that I have had. One (which is my main idea) is based on a couple who go on a day trip to a historical Castle. They are then placed in the middle of a targeted location where a mob of masked people start attacking. The second story is a lot more simple, its based on the same couple, but the girl starts getting paranoid when her boyfriend starts being blunt and suspicious. She automatically thinks that he is cheating on her, after a climax (which i have not yet decided) she thens finds out he is actually planning on proposing to her.
