Planning:Character Types

 Hello blog friends!

Previously, I shared my research about the different character types. Today, I will be sharing what type of characters will be shown in the film's opening.

Let's begin!

Protagonist 

In this horror narrative, Luna would be the protagonist and the central emotional point of the movie. Luna is a shy, watchful, and emotionally sensitive character, making her an interesting horror protagonist. She is shy enough to notice subtle warning signs and behavioral changes that other characters might not. As the plot unfolds, Luna would symbolize vulnerability and innocence, which would create a powerful emotional conflict for the viewers. Her character development would revolve around survival, awareness, and empowerment while being subjected to a terrifying betrayal by a trusted individual.

 Antagonist 

Thomas would be the antagonist in the story. Thomas seems to be a charming, outgoing, and confident character, making him a likable and attractive individual. However, his mysterious nature holds some sinister motives. Thomas’s outgoing personality helps him win people over easily and escape suspicion, making him a very unsettling character psychologically. Thomas does not pose an immediate threat but instills fear in people through his manipulative, secretive, and unpredictable nature. Thomas’s secret plan to kill Luna adds the element of betrayal to the horror theme, making it more emotionally frightening than physically frightening.

Thomas can also be a foil character to Luna. Luna is a very cautious, emotionally expressive, and intuitive character, whereas Thomas is a very bold, secretive, and controlling individual. This contrast between the two characters emphasizes the innocence of Luna and the hidden darkness of Thomas.

Both of these characters can also be dynamic characters. Luna can change from being shy and dependent to being determined and resilient as she realizes the danger that is surrounding her. Thomas, on the other hand, can show his real personality by changing from being charming and mysterious to being threatening as his plan develops.

Luna and Thomas form a psychological horror duo based on trust, deception, and emotional fear, and their relationship is the force that drives the tension in the story.

Reflection

Working on this horror film project helped me understand the importance of character development and casting. Creating Luna and Thomas showed me how contrasting personalities can build tension and make a story more engaging. Overall, this project improved my creativity and understanding of storytelling.
