Character development

After discussing the importance in main character and the minor details, we started with coming up with a name for our main girl. Because the person acting was going to be Rachel, we went with Rae. While doing research, I learned more about what the main charater should be like in a drama film. The protagonist needs a strong, in-depth character development. They need to be someone the audience can relate to. The main character needs to challenge something, like a stereotype or "what you would expect".

While coming up with little details about Rae, we put the plot into perspective. The plot is about a girl who goes against the path that's been chosen for her. She's different than the rest of the crowd, so I imagine her maybe dressing differently. We talked about what Rae's outfit could be and how she could present herself. I was thinking of a character like Jessica Day, from the hit TV series New Girl.

Jessica has a certain persona that is recognizable before you even say her name. She's quirky, awkward, and an over the top person. She's most recognizable for her colorful and "out-there" outfits. Rae is going to be similar to this, wearing probably a dress or a skirt, with crazy and different features.
