Character Development

     The two characters in this film opening, one being in reality, while the other is imaginary, are going to have distinct personalities. The purpose of doing this is simply to demonstrate how the main character's true self is the imaginary character, while the imaginary character serves as the self-conscience and their perception of the world. 

Main Character: Valarie 

Valarie is a shy and timid person, she doesn't like confrontation and isn't able to share how she feels. Although, she is extremely observant, and is always looks at the smaller details before finding out the big picture. The imaginary friend that follows her throughout the opening is who she wants to be, as well as represents her views on the world. However, there is a figuritive, emotional wall that stops her from expressing herself, and letting that side of herself show.

When imagining and creating Valarie, I thought of characters such as Carrie from Carrie and Pam from the Office because they are two individuals who have trouble expressing themselves, and throughout their respective tv show/film, go through certain emotional obstacles to find who they are. Although, Valarie's main difference between Pam/Carrie and Valarie is that Valarie is aware of who she is, she just has a difficult time expressing that to others, hence she is most comfortable on her own. 

The clothing that Valarie wears, which is usually long-sleeved, baggy shirts and pants, portrays how she is closed-off and maintains a lowkey lifestyle.

Imaginary Character

    This character is going to be who Valarie truly is, which is outgoing, quick-witted, and sarcastic. They are going to portray the best and worst of Valarie, as well as act as a support system for her. Although, their main flaw will be their indecision, especially since they are unable to give external advice, only what Valarie is thinking. I also decided that I wanted this character to not have a separate name,  rather them be called "Val", a shortened version of Valarie. This not only illustrates their opposing personalities, but it specifically highlights that they are the same person. 

"Val" clothing style is more colorful and spontaneous, which demonstrates how Valarie internally wants to be.
