As a screenwriter making a name for himself in San Francisco, Charles
Turner has put forth the time and effort to hone his craft and create a
screenplay that compels and dazzles audiences. His latest work, ‘SF,
A Love Story’, highlights the compassion of others and the similar
struggles people endure in his beloved home city. He tells this story
through a set of well—developed characters that evolve as the storyline
goes. Below are some of the essentials that screenwriters have to
consider when building characters.
How Invested Do I Want My Audience to Be in This Character?
Before
you even go into the detail involved with developing a character, you
must first determine the level of importance this character will have in
the direction of the plot. You don’t want your audience to get
distracted with a character that will have little impact on the plot, so
instead prioritize your character development, starting with the
protagonist and antagonist and then work your way down.
Make Your Main Characters the Most Dynamic
When
developing your main characters, make sure to give them a wide spectrum
of qualities. Give your bad guys redeemers and your good guys flaws.
You can then build a plot around how these qualities are presented to
the audience.
