Character Devolopent

Hey again! To begin this week, we are going to discuss character development throughout the 2-minute film opening. We began by researching names of real killers and we wanted to find one whose name also sounds like they would be part of a Rock Band and that's when we came across the name Yuri. Yuri Stepanov is a real life killer, and it really caused inspiration when coming up with the name of our antagonist, and the name really stuck with us knowing it was something more unique. We did something similar for the rest of the band members, giving some background to their names and giving some inspiration.

We began creating the character development with trying to show that Yuri is a more aggressive guy. We started off with making Yuri have a breakdown within the first minute of the opening, and he lets all his anger out by punching Lucas without even thinking and just acted, this really shows the audience that he has anger issues and can't seem to control himself like if he were unstable. Near the end of the opening, we are showing him entering his car after they kicked him out of the band for his actions, and he started banging on the steering wheel multiple times showing he still has anger, and mostly towards the band after they kicked him out. So what we are trying to do is get the audience to view Yuri as the unstable antagonist.
