We decided to interview our characters, to get to know them. We got our inspiration from what we learnt from a blog called Film Escape. This screenshot is from the website called Film Escape, and is on this post Charlie Sierra writes about a man called Pen Densham who is an Oscar nominated film maker who has made 16 Feature Films. Pen Densham uses the technique of questioning his characters in order to get to know them better. This way he can learn how the characters work which allows Pen Densham to understand each character when filming a feature film. Questioning the characters means that Pen Densham can understand their personalities as well as the way they work.
Our interview included the main characters being questioned about how they feel about the situation they have been put into and what happened along the way. This questionnaire and interview was to find out and further develop our character's personalities so that they are easy to understand when we release our film trailer.
Here you can see the interview where military personnel interviews two of the boys after the attack has occurred...
Excellent work creating your characters' backstory: you have used the 'hot seating' concept, devised a script, filmed and edited the sequence.
