Character Types

     Characters must be shaped throughout the film and I believe that this is one of the most important elements of film. The way that the audience engages with certain characters changes their overall feeling of the film. Just like novels, characters can't all be dynamic or all be static. An balance of the two is crucial when developing a interesting cast. The dynamic between the two actors must also be good. A great example of this is shown with Will Ferrell and John C. Riley. Their collaboration in Step Brothers and Talladega Nights has made their characters better together. Many fans love each actor but together more people enjoy them. This relationship intrigues the fans of their comedy and receives amazing ratings. I plan on creating a intriguing character dynamic with my film opening.
