Pre-Production Unit: Making Character Profiles

When it came to creating my characters I decided that I had to look into my influences for Different Perspectives.

Elliott: He is a pessimistic illustrator in his mid-20s. He has a great love of TV and Film. Despite this he is shy and neurotic, which makes it very easy for him to panic at a moments notice. Despite this he cares a lot about his girlfriend and making sure that everything in his life is going well. Which means he will go to any lengths to look after others.

Vince: A bitterly, sardonic agent hoping for a promotion, he has a gravelly voice and works for the Television show's producers. He is very professional and will do anything to please his bosses. When I was coming up with his character, the actor that I had in mind was Peter Serafinowicz.

Elena: Elliott’s girlfriend, she works in the media industry and is more level headed than Elliott. She finds it hard to believe that her life has become a part of a TV show and thinks that her boyfriend is losing his mind. Despite this she remains his closest contact whist he all of this is happening.

I am happy with the characters that I have started to develop although they could still do with some tweaking before I write up there character profiles for the treatment + book. I will continue to research further into my characters although so far I am happy with the way it is progressing.
