Planning Characters
We used the planning out line of:- Name
- Age
- Gender
- Race
- Background
- Purpose to the narrative
- How the character appeals to the audience
Character 1:
Name: Lucy
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Race: White british
Background: Vulnerable,she is walking with her friend because she is feeling upset at problems at home.
Purpose to the narrative: Lucy follows the other character into the woods and is very scared, later on she is left alone in the forest.
How the character appeals to the audience: Lucy is scared and makes the audience sympathise with her, feel scared for her and is a perfect convention of a victim within a thriller genre.
Character 2:
Name: Noah
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Race: White
Background: Brave, he is walking with Lucy to cheer her up after something that has happened at home.
Purpose to the narrative: Noah is the brave one of the two victims and convinces Lucy to go into the forest and then leaves her to check on the mysterious noise.
How the character appeals to the audience: Noah is brave and makes the audience feel that nothing bad could happen to him but at the same time he is also big headed and arrogant which almost makes the audience want something bad to happen to him. Therefore he makes a good conventional victim also.
Character 3:
Name: Mysterious killer
Age: ?
Gender: ?
Race: ?
Background: ?
Purpose to the narrative: This killer is there to stalk the two victims and to create tension

This post demonstrates basic planning techniques and this is because you have not considered the purpose of your chosen characters in enough detail. You have only briefly described two of your characters and you have not related to your group narrative either, which makes this very basic.
ReplyDeleteTo develop this, you need to expand and elaborate on the points that you have included, by referring all your points, back to your narrative, to demonstrate further understanding of planning. Also aim to include still images, to support the points that you have included.
