Pre-production: Defining Characters

 Once we had established the important elements of our film project's logline, our group focused on defining the key aspects of each character. We wanted to make sure that they were portrayed with depth and authenticity. We had detailed discussions and brainstorming sessions to carefully create nuanced profiles for each character. These profiles included important details such as their age, gender, class, social status, ethnicity, sexuality, regional identity, abilities, appearances, lifestyle interests or preferences, political values, and professions. This thorough exploration allowed us to bring our characters to life and make their backgrounds and motivations more meaningful within the context of our story.
