Reflect on this video and the character exercise yesterday. How can these exercises help you develop and improve the characters you create for your next film?
After watching this video and doing the story spine exercise yesterday, I learned that developing a character first can help you set up a unique story based off them. Starting with qualities they're good or bad at is the easiest way to first start off. After that, you can start developing other characters around them, and important facts about their life (such as job, family, friends, etc.). Once you have solid main and supporting characters, you can shape your story around that. I believe this video and the exercise we did is a good way to practice developing ideas. Since it follows such a clear structure, you don't have to think too hard about how all of the events connect at the end, since it's all clearly set up for you. The video advice helps you create a unique concept based off a character, and I think it's the quickest way to get an idea rolling since it's easier to build off of something rather than thinking of a story in the chronological order of events.
