Welcome back to my blog! In this blog I will go deeper on the dynamics of the characters and the media theory we are integrating in our project. After my group meetings my team and I decided to make some changes and add another charter so let me introduce our newest character ... Atticus!!!
You might be a little confused with this image but let me explain. Our lovely new character is actually a HUGE nerd. He is an artsy guy loves magic and pretends he is a wizard. His real name isn't even Atticus it's just his wizard's name that he insists everyone calls him. He lives across from Aroura his "true love". He is a LITTLE obsessed with her and draws a fantasy book where his wizard character saves the distressed princes Aroura. He steals her away from the evil king Kai (who's my character).
After developing this new character and dynamic we knew exactly what media theory to implement. We are implementing the character theory. This theory was basically served on a silver platter considering the magical undertones from Atticus.
The Hero is Atticus as he not only saves Aroura from Kai in the book but in the film as well. He feels a sort of moral and emotion responsibility to take her away from the bad guy. He is shy and doesn't have many friends. Aroura is sweet to him but doesn't go out of her way to talk to him. His wizard alter ego is his way of being a hero. He gets bullied in real life and isn't strong enough to stand up to them. He uses his magic in the comics to finally be able to stand up to his enemies. The film follows him as he breaks out of his shell and goes after the girl of his dreams.
The Villian is Kai who is an evil king with a huge dragon in the comic. In the film Kai is just an edgy teen with a mustang. They are the current love interest to Aroura. Kai is rude and is harsh with her. They can be controlling and don't want her to talk to Atticus. Kai has all the power and despises the silly wizard. The villain character will be established in the comic Atticus is working on in the opening. Once they first interact in a heated encounter the dynamic is clear.
The Princess is Aroura who is a real princess in the comic. In the film she is a sweet girl mixed up in a bad relationship. She shows kindness to Atticus but is with Kai. She may not realize the full control Kai has on her but in comic it is evident. The king keeps her locked in a tower hidden away from the wizard. The tower is protected by Kai's dragon just like the mustang is protecting her. She is seen a damsel in distress, but the girl can defiantly protect herself.
I know this story might be a little confusing but as I explain more and show our script and story board, you'll love this idea just as much as I do. In my next blog I will summarize our project idea. I'll meet you in the future!
