Pre-Production: Defining Characters

After establishing the crucial elements of a logline for our film project, our group delved into defining key aspects of each character, ensuring depth and authenticity in their portrayal. Through meticulous discussion and brainstorming sessions, we meticulously crafted nuanced profiles for each character, encompassing vital details such as age, gender, class, social status, ethnicity, sexuality, regional identity, abilities, appearances, lifestyle interests or preferences, political values, and professions.
