Reflecting on the video and the character exercise yesterday, these can help me develop and improve the characters that I create for my next film as it's a good way to come up with an interesting character that also has an arc, which is often one of the most driving and appealing aspects of a film. The exercise shown in the video can be an effective way to come up with a character and their traits, which can heavily influence the kind of story and plot which your film would have. For example, his character was addicted to lying, which led him to create a plot and conflict which revolved around her ability of and affinity for lying. The Story Spine exercise in incredibly effective for creating a character arc that heavily drives the plot. It helps build an understanding of the character's motives and how they will change throughout the story, which is incredibly important for making an engaging film. In my exercise, I created a character who's profession (art-historian) had been very impactful to what major plot points happened, the reason behind them, and the way that her character evolved. Based on the profession she was given, it influenced other traits such as her passion for history, learning, investigation, and sharing her findings. All in all, these exercises help make deeper characters that can drive the plot of your film, making for a much more engaging, relatable, and entertaining experience.
