Today in class me and my group were discussing how we could develop of characters in our film, Airball. Are two main characters are going to be a basketball player and his coach. Their relationship drives the emotional core of the story, however, how can we develop these characters to make the film more interesting.
This character is going to be the heart of the story, representing lots of ambition but lacks many skills. His journey is going to revolve around overcoming personal and external challenges. Although he lacks talent, he makes up for it with determination. He is always the first to practice and the last one to leave, despite of this he hears all the whispers in the locker room and the eye rolls from his teammates. He also has pressure because his father was a big shot in his basketball career and after his passing he wants to carry on his legacy.
The coach-
To develop the coaches character we decided to give him struggles of his own. he was destined to be the greatest baller out there but fell short of his greatness. When he first started coaching it was a passion of his, but after seeing so many players come and go the love for coaching started disappearing. Due to this, he first dismisses the player because he sees him as a lost cause. However, he realized this kid is different, he say the fire in his eyes and the determination he had to become great. Regardless, the coach isn’t the type to just give out free encouragement so he wanted to continue seeing this ambitious player. The coach starts to have a change in perspective that sometimes the ones who want it the most are the ones who make it.
