No matter how clever the plot, a script only really comes to life if it contains compelling characters.
- The question is how can we develop compelling characters?
In this session, Clive Frayne, will demonstrate how to take a two-dimensional, clichéd character and transform them into something that works cinematically.
He’ll then show how to extend that development work to the entire cast, to create what he calls a “drama engine"
A drama engine being a cast of characters whose personalities automatically create drama just by bringing them together.
