Character Development

    As I quickly approach the filming stages of my project, another thing that is important to have sorted out is how I plan to effectively build a solid character development. As perviously stated, the opening scene for this fictional film "Cyber Monday" is centered on only one character. Since there will be no other characters present in this opening scene, it will likely be alot easier to make a proper character development. 

    First, we should talk about who this character is going to be specifically. Generally, experienced hackers do a good job a hiding their identity in any way possible. Because of this, the character in this opening scene will not express much characteristics that invoke a personal connection with the audience, to further assist in the feeling of mystery, suspense, and curiosity on the viewer. However, some things will be revealed about him in this opening scene. The man will be on the younger side, anxious, fidgety, and have a very discreet demeanor. The younger age gives an impression of someone who might have been coerced into the situation, allows the viewer to feel a level of sympathy with the character. The character will be dressed in all black, invoking a sense of mystery at the same time.  The fictional character when he runs away from the sound of a simple knock will help assist in the feeling that the character al always on edge. 

   These things will be developed throughout the entire opening scene, slowly adding layers to the peace that draw the viewer in. This slow climax like build up will make the viewer anxious to watch the rest of the film, exactly what an opening scene should achieve.
