Blog Post #8 - Character Research

-

 To represent the bond of my characters, I will compare a drama tv show to my project. This series being "The O.C". This series is about a troubled teenage boy that gets taken in by a wealthy family. He leaves his broken home and starts his new life at Newport Beach, California. The change in lifestyle is hard; Ryan learns to make new friends. He finds a best friend in his new home called Seth Cohen. Son of Sandy and Kirsten Cohen, Ryans adopted family. Ryan also meets his future girlfriend, Marissa Copper,  as she lives next door. Focusing on Marissa, she is an alcoholic. 

Marissa has a bestfriend named Summer Roberts. Summer is there for Melissa through every rough situation. Her passing out, running away, getting so drunk she almost dies, etc. Summer stays by her side no matter what. This friendship of comfort, understanding and reliance is the relationship I plan to give to my main character just not through a friendship. She will seek comfort in her significant other to help her understand what she is going through. Their relationship is one I keep in mind when taking characteristics that ill add to my characters boyfriend.

While Marissa is dealing with her depression and alcoholism, she starts her relationship with Ryan. Ryan is there for Melissa just like Summer. He is always thinking in her best interest, doing his best to always protect her. Her is he security and safe space in the show. Melissa goes to Ryan for his support in hopes to get better. Ryan helps Melissa gets helps and set her on the road to recovery. He is never not taking care of her. This relationship is the drama I want to include between my characters. The main character needs someone to keep her grounded and I intended that it will be her significant other.

When viewing my final extract, it should be determinable that my genres are horror, thriller, and drama. To do this, I need to find common conventions found within each genre. Typical horror conventions include a dark, unsettling atmosphere, isolation, mystery, ominous sounds, etc. To get inspiration, there's a few movie posters to view. "The Conjuring 2" poster immediately shows themovie is horror. It has dark imagery/atmosphere, isolation, black and white colors, the mystery of the large hand and lots of suspense just by the look. Seeing this, allows me to understand what I will need to include in my final project. I will be majority filming after dark to get the darker atmosphere. Followed by the main character being isolated and uneasy music to create suspense. Thrillers are similar; however, they add that engagement with the audience. Those feelings of excite...
