Listen "Character Creation (How to Write a Script)"
Episode Synopsis
Now that we've got a decent sense of the concept we want to write, it's time to start filling in the details, starting out with the important act of character creation, since most scripts without characters in them tend to be on the less interesting side.We go over the roles a character may play in the story, where to take character inspiration from and how to develop their psychology, plus the question of whose story you are telling. All this plus a cheeky section on setting too.If you're writing along at home (Not during the show, presumably) then this week is your chance to come up with some enticing character descriptions. Maybe someone who likes to wear a hat? That's interesting, isn't it?You can follow the podcast on social media: x.com/writing_podinstagram.com/writing_podtiktok.com/@writing_podOr search for Thinking About Writing on Facebook.Find out more about Robin and even make an enquiry about getting notes on your script at robinleetaylor.comAnd if you want to support the show you can become a Patron via patreon.com/Thinking About Writing (Eventually!
