Character Development
For my project, I want to show how the character expresses himself through music and the way he dresses. In Better Off Dead's opening, the set and props are used to tell us about the main character before we even see him, and I intend to use a technique like this. I will go more in depth with the set and props in a future blog post but in general I want the audience to understand the character and setting through what is seen rather than just through dialogue.
With dialogue, I want to give the audience a vague idea of the events prior to the film, but not spell it out to them. With my opening, I want the audience to be sort of thrown into the events as they happen, with the plot of the movie following the repercussions of an event prior to the film. To put it simply, I want to develop the character through less obvious methods, but still understandable to audiences.
