CHARACTER

My character is someone who questions a lot of things that she doesn't have the answers for. She is a very observant person and suspicious of most things. She notices the smallest details and makes a case for the little things she is not sure of. She is someone who is not scared of things most people would be scared of and she is very confident in herself. She is a very wise person and precise in the decisions she makes.

CHOOSING A NAME

The name I decided to go with for this character in my film is "Clarice". I did some digging and searched up some names for girls and when I saw the name Clarice it instantly clicked with me. I honestly think this name is just such a classic when it comes to horror films and I feel like her name and her character would match perfectly in my opening. Another reason I picked this name is cause for some reason when I see a name I think of what films that name could be used and the genre of the film. The name "Clarice" screams the genre of horror to me and I see it instantly being used in my plot of the opening and I also see it fit in the setting of the place which is in he forest. 

DEVELOPMENT

The development for my character will be pretty simple and nothing extravagating. Clarise's personality is very unique since she is a very observant and intelligent person. She's in her car heading a way she has never gone before since she is going to go on a date and there's traffic. It will be very vivid that she's going on a date sine she will be dressed up and have a purse on her. 

Something I would like to put out there and show a variety of times is her fear of the dark by showing the sun setting and her turning on all the lights while it gets darker. By showing her fear of the dark it acknowledges how weak and powerless she is when she's in the dark and has no light with her. This makes her look powerless and fearful since she's supposed to be this frightened less person. I want to show her fear of the dark and make it very noticeable to show that people could be hiding behind a mask most of the time and everyone has their fears even if people think their this confident and fearless.
