Characteristic of Psychic ("How to build characters in the film" PART 2)

Beraudiovisual's friends, earlier I mentioned about the Characteristic of Physical. Now let's look at other characteristics of the film, which is Characteristic of Psychic. Characteristics that should be be explained within the scope of this are about the psychic condition in general, about the character, temperament, ability and imagination and sensitivity.

General Conditions

nervously biting his nails

General psychic condition are, whether the psychic condition is stable or has crashed. Disorders that result in a rather indecisive person, or a bit impulsive, then was considered normal. But the need is expressed in physical motion characteristics, such as frequent blinking, or frequently to remove his hand with a handkerchief as his palms are always wet, or fast becoming a stutter. Especially if he were facing tensions. Incorporating unusual movements as experienced actors psychic picture story, may be a unique feature of the relevant figures.

Talent

if trained a little, it will be great

Talent is the ability of a person's inherited, innate, such as artistic talent, talent leads, trade. That is, these people are easy to work in the field that had been mentioned. Talented people singing, melodious voice immediately, if trained a little, it will be great, according to his talent level. Maybe her mother or grandmother was a singer.
This talent is something that is commonly known to people in general. If the audience knows that the little girl Lola who is not gifted to sing, her voice flat, his mother was forced to take singing lessons so she could be like Whitney Houston, then the audience can soon expect a disaster for Lola.

The ability of Imagination
The ability of imagination is actually a talent too, but we separate them because it might have from hard work and so on, until he was able to imagine new products or new forms of business. But beginners are successful, certainly has the talent to himself.
A village headman who has the imaginative ability, has many ideas to develop the village and its people by using the self that he created himself. Medium, another headman who graduate but do not have any imagination, just a lot of complaining because he has received development funds are too small.

parents may be insensitive

Sensitivity
People who have a sense is a person who is easy to feel symptoms he faced. Easy to understand that his neighbor was annoyed by his family. Or he's easy to feel the suffering of the people around him.
A pair of parents may be insensitive, can not feel pain and loneliness experienced by their children, because both are too busy with their own business. Insensitivity of parents like that at all abnormal. All parents in the village which is still normal, certainly can not justify the insensitivity of parents to their children. Because, usually the parents must be very fond of their children. Especially mothers. Such insensitivity is caused definite psychic shocks of big city living conditions are harsh.

Character is formed by nature

Important Character
Character are trait that settle to someone, such as diligent, lazy, ill-tempered, timid, shameless, patient, extroverts (introverts), low self-esteem, pride, confident (confident that low / high / excessive, and such). Character is formed by nature and impact received during his years. That need to be disclosed in the story alone would have been an important character of the characters, which were linked with the story. Nature received from parents. Being, the influence that include education, experience, fun and hard, strong influences it receives, the influence of the environment, work environment, the environment hobbies, and so on.

The spirit of life

High-spirited person

High-spirited person would struggle to achieve his goals. But person who spirit of life is weak, he will easily break when faced with obstacles. That is, a zest for life are directly related to the power of one's action. Thus, it is required to be disclosed in the scenario, especially with the example of follow-horn, so the audience can anticipate in form of struggle that will be conducted by leaders in the fight against the obstacles.

That explanation of the characteristics of psychic. Next, we'll see about the characteristics of the mind, to next article. Up here, there are not you understand? hopefully can help you to be able to produce better film.

Characteristic of Physical ("How to build characters in the film" PART 1)

Beraudiovisual's Friends, do you know that the audience would be interested in watching a movie if the characters were interesting. That is, the characters are not ordinary characters but can be accepted by the audience.

Does it should be the real figures?
Who can say Rambo figure, McGyver, or the character James Bond was real? They accepted only by the imagination of spectators. Precisely figure who really real at times even difficult to accept the audience because of the lack of supporting information that can make it interesting.

James Bond is not a real figure

Spectators can be made interested in the figures, if the characterization of these figures is made clear. In general, basic information about the characters that need to be disclosed to the audience is to include:

1. characteristic of the physical / biological
2. characteristic of psychic
3. characteristic of the mind
4. characteristic of cultural
 
Let us begin to discuss one by one. First of all, are physical characteristics / biological.
Physical characteristic are included name, age, height, weight, physical specificity, body movements, facial expressions, etc..
Person's name is also sometimes able to explain the ethnic origin and may also show interest and social level. People with the name Kris Patikawa could soon be known by almost all the audience from which the region of origin, especially Pardjo Legowo. Try to guess the origin of the Edi Silitonga, Michelle Kim, and Erick Catwalk. Predictable is not it?

Name
The person whose name Sarimin, for Javanese show he came from below, different from the person whose

Name is important

name Joyokusumo. Named Ahmad, Aisha, and so on, shows the character of a family close to the Islamic religion. Characters that use the name Westernized, have a tendency as Christians, especially if it has a baptismal name. Robert Tanumiharja or Michael Bunawan be thought to have come from ethnic Chinese, because adapting the Tan clan and Bun.
 So naming the character (fictional) should be considered in order to give effect to the audience an understanding of these names. That name should be easily pronounced by the player. If the name is hard to say, it will make the pronunciation of the name is not so clear from the mouth of the actor. Avoid names of actors in a movie about the same sound, this will cause confusion to hear, such as the name Elin and Elen, or there are two characters named Ira and Fira.
 

Age

Age makes a different character

Age is very important to be disclosed in the scenario. So that the reader, either director or actors, can make interpretation of the attitude and manner appropriate response. Since Angelica is 17 years old will have a different attitude in front of his father's employees, compared with 30-year-old Angelica.

Determination of age of these players should be supported by any form of action the offender. That is, if the actors is determined 35 year-old Brenda and normal psychic, then all behavior must be described that she was a normal woman in that age normally. Different if it is determined that he was flirtatious, but it should also be flirtatious age of 35 years. If she's sassy as a child of 17 years, people would say the character is weak.


Physical
How tall, weight, and specificity of physical shape is also important to apply to the scenario. Tall, short, skinny, sexy, slim, tall, stocky, would greatly affect one's attitude. A stocky usually knows himself, if he applies flirty,

Identification of diferent physic

then the character has a disability, otherwise it will upset the audience. Burly-looking man or woman who is beautiful body, would seem more confident. But it certainly could have been a well-built, it would seem weak with mental disorders has. Seven Samurai movie makes character with thick dimension by creating a character, but emaciated fighting experts.

Appearance is very important to explain, because the tall, skinny, short, only sectoral information. Appearance are totality that can represent the personality of the characters. It could be a physically less, giving the appearance of sympathetic and impressive, while the flawless looks and athletic body, looking obnoxious.

Body movement
Movement actors are often not included in many of our scenarios. Until the pages of the scenario there wasonly a dialogue, as in the dramatizations. Actually, in a conversation scene, shall be shown how the dialogue is spoken and how the responses given in the action. When John insult to Steve, and who despised it just take it easy, then the audience will make an important interpretation of the Steve. Questions can be answered with action, should not the dialogue again. Actor can be ordered to move to give break to answer, or delay the answer to increase the tension.

 

Facial Expressions
Facial expression are reflection of the psychological disorder. Even his health condition. At the very least, need to explain what the expression is, in outline, and if there are typical. As expressions of fierce, scary, cool, cloudy. It can also be combined with each other. with facial expressions as opposed to the mental condition. For example, a person known as a detractor, but his face is always shown friendly smiles. But of course the actor should be able to transform the face is always smiling and the audience still able to capture that character portraying the slanderers. Eyes as well so have an important role. Screenwriter must include a good description that can be turned on by the actor who plays a relevant role, so the audience can give the right perception, even without the help of dialogue.

Some of the above is included in the physical characteristics / biological. The next characteristic we will discuss in next article characteristic of psychic. How? Can be understood? If there are less understood, or there are additional, please comment: D

Important Points Before Writing The Scenario

Suit yourself while writing

Beraudiovisual’s friends, are you learn to write scenario this time? If yes, then there are some things you must know before writting scenarios. The scenario is the most important element in a film production (television) because it is a necessary element  earliest as a draft to make a film.

 
Basic story

Before creating the scenario, we need to know what we write. You do not immediately rush, the first scene. The first thing we need is the basic story (basic story), a statement of who, when, why, where and how the things we want to create a scenario. Basic story, we can also express as a summary of the general or global view.

Character

In a scenario that we create, numbers will appear. We need to recognize and deeper. Worth a lot. We know how to figure the dialogue, thinking and acting. We will know how the hero would solve the problem. Also, conflict as between one character with another character.

In this phase, the player search (casting), explanations of characters is also very helpful to have created the appropriate player to play the character. In addition to the player himself will be easier to understand the character he was playing.

For the development of character, we can do this by providing data on: the full name and calls, religion, age, familial relationships and friendships, favorite (science, movies, music, sports, reading, eating), physical characteristics, intelligence, fashion style, manner of speaking, properties, houses and others.

Set / Location

To create a scene, we must determine the sets and locations (where the scene takes place) in advance. This will allow us to determine the scene. What do you do, the position where, from where, where watched, or to see in which direction.

The scene takes place, which could be built on the studio sets, such as living in the house like a porch, a living room, living room, bedroom, kitchen, or we use a part of building a proper home. The definition is not always to be home, but also the road or elsewhere.

Explanation of this sentence, but are useful for us in the scenarios also useful as a guide for the set builder sets in the studio or production unit for the building to building, which will serve as a set to meet the requirements of the scenario to find suit.

Synopsis

Before writing the script, we must ensure that the story creates a script. Not invent a story if the scenario is created. The history we can give a succinct but contain elements of character, time and place of incident, problem, problem and solution development. This is a summary.

Chronology Stories (Story Line)

If the summary, which we have made, will be developed into a scenario for a TV show with a duration of 24 minutes, we describe it again in a summary of the plot (plot) in four rounds (ACT) with a calculation interrupted the radio commercials will be as much as three times divided.

The purpose of the act is to developmental disorders and dramatic elements that can create are completed in one phase in each fragment sequence that ads less intrusive and creates a scene at the end that makes the audience want to know the rest.

hopefully with a few points above, it can help Beraudiovisual’s friends to be able to write a better scenario. Do not forget, Suit yourself while writing.
