My Character Profile

Task:
Two character profiles -  I began with a well known character which helped to get me started via looking at his typical characteristics and as to how they're affective. I then started on my own character profile.

Outcome:
Doing this enabled me to come up with creative ideas and think in depth about how to develop a character. The task taught me how important it is to create a character with the right image and sett characteristics so that they can portray the part you want them to effectively. As well as this, it taught me how to start with an initial idea and then expand it, via using my own imagination as well as different films I have watched and collaborate the two in order to come up with a good character.

James Bond
He is a middle-aged male, roughly 54 years of age.
He doesn't have a specific place where he lives, he tends to be on the move a lot and doesn't stick to one area.
James Bond is a violent and aggressive individual as well as this he is also fairly stubborn/competitive - he doesn't give up easily until he wins. He's independent and doesn't rely on anyone. Furthermore, he's very active and never is in one place for long.
He doesn't have a set group of friends, instead he makes friends as he travels around and forgets them quickly once he's moved on. He doesn't have friends he stays with for very long. He uses people to fulfil his sexual desires as well as when he needs people to support him in difficult situations.
He finds himself in bad and dangerous situtions often, sometimes caused by himself and occassionally down to other people being violent towards him. He aslo tends to find himself in bed with various other women, as he is quite seductive.

Eugene Oakly - My made-up character
He is a young character, eighteen years of age.
He is the stereotypical geek, looks wise, but academically he is far from intelligent. This surprises the majority of people who meet him. He is a carer for his sick mother and they live in a one bedroom apartment by the sea. Occasionally when Eugene has the time, he does what he loves most and goes surfing on the sea, just near his home. No one would ever guess that Eugene, the typical geek was actually the World's number 1 surfer. At college Eugene sits alone in the canteen, where no one bothers to talk to him, and if they do acknowledge him, it is just to throw some food towards him. Little do they know, the person who they are looking at in the magazines they read each week is actually him on the front cover. He overhears pretty, good looking girls talking about how they want to meet him, yet Eugene does not say a word. Because everyday he pretends to be someone else and puts on his mask and costume.
