Character Development

March 25, Sunday

    Rodrigo and I met up yesterday to discuss new ideas for our project. We both agreed that what we had so far probably wouldn't fill the 2 minutes unless we were to make scenes unnecessarily long and drawn out. So in order to avoid this from happening we decided to go more in depth with character development. Considering the 4 characters are the main source of comedy for the majority of the intro we felt they needed to have more to them.
    While developing them we discussed character motives, attitudes, hobbies, nicknames, and appearances. Here is a small chart describing each of the 4 characters.

1. Head Honcho:
- Mastermind of the group
- Can be manipulative of his lackeys in order to get his way
- Plans usually end terribly
- Seeks recognition and popularity within his community

2. The Hype Man:
- Sidekick of Head Honcho
- Insecure about self image
- Dresses and acts as close as he can to Head Honcho (Mini-me)
- Seeks a best friend in the head honcho, wants his recognition

3. The Hopeless Romantic
- Always in his feelings
- Obsessed with ex-girlfriend
- Hates her but secretly still loves her
- Seeks an opportunity to make his ex jealous

4. Poindexter
- Obviously nerdy appearance
- Sticks strictly to statistics and logic, never goes on gut feelings
- Unexpectedly sassy
- Seeks a way out of the party
