Tonight I did some reading of ‘Creating Unforgettable Characters’ by Linda Seger 1990. I read into how to write about an engaging and detailed character. I also read into what makes a successful character relationship and to apply contrasts between couples to make them more unique as individuals. I will be applying what I have learnt in this book to how I approach creating my main characters.
FRIDAY 2nd OCTOBER, 2015
Today I wrote the first scene of my script. I expanded my idea from what I learnt in ‘Writing the Short Film’ and I started the film off with introducing the main character ‘Maria’ and also subtly introducing the conflict of the story by describing the headline of a newspaper.
