Introduction To Claudia And Quentin

For the second part of the unit I will be creating my own characters that will fit into a horror TV series of my choice. For this part of the unit we are able to be much more free in our designs as well as our ideas. In the session where we were given our brief we were also given a list of TV series that we could choose from to gain inspiration as giving us scenes, settings and story lines to put our characters into. Some of the series that we were able to choose from were American Horror Story, Vampire Diaries, The Walking Dead and Dexter. When I got the brief I was concerned as I had previously not watched any of the shows and was worried about finding one that I liked as well as one that I could get a good feel for in the amount of time between being given the brief and the presentation, where we had to show our research and ideas for our characters. I struggled to find anywhere to watch the TV series so decided to watch some of the trailers to see which one inspired and captured me the most. I watched the trailer for the American Horror Story Coven trailer. This is the one that I liked the most, so decided to use this as my TV series. We were also told that we had to choose two key words from a list that would help us further in with inspiration for the design of our character, some of the words that we could choose from were red rave, face, veiled, stitches and blue coat. I decided for my project I would use veiled and red rave. In the brief we were also told that we had to create a presentation that showcased the TV series we had chosen, the demographic for the TV series and how we were creating our characters to fit into the demographic. We would also need to talk about our choice of key words and how they inspired us. I am looking forward to beginning this project as I like the amount of freedom that we have and it will be a good way of creating looks and experimenting with ideas that I have previously not done before.
