blog #1 deconstructing characters


Black represents my character because this hero is well known as a vigilante.  As a super hero he punishes those who break the law.  Like most super heroes he hides his identity by wearing a disguise.  The black is a symbol of solitude.  As a super hero he has chosen to live a double life.  The one side of his character is that he is a regular citizen, but the other side is a secret part he chooses to keep to himself.  The black represents this man who punishes law breakers and prevents bad things from happening.  The black represents the part of himself that he keeps in the shadows.


This lighting is the perfect representation of my super hero character.  The light in this picture represents two different parts of time.  My super hero has a double identity.  During the day he has to portray his normal human persona.  At night as soon as the sunsets he turns into a being of the night.  Not only does dusk symbolize when the hero merges to act out his duties, but dusk is a symbol of his double personality.  The slpit between his normal citizen and a vigilante.  Also people view this super hero has the great light in times of darkness.  In the picture the whole sky is dark besides the sun and its blaring light.



The perfect shape for my character is a bat flying through the air.  My character wears a sleek black supersuit.  This suit allows him to fly through the air.  As he flies through the air he looks exactly like a bat.  Not just the obvious traits of a bat but the physical mannerisms as well.  The physical sleekness of my super hero is exactly like the sleekness of a bat.  When my super hero flies through the air he is not really flying he glides.  When his cape flies behind him he is exactly like a bat at night soaring through the sky.

This make up pallet represents my villain in many ways.  Physically my character wears colorful crazy clothing.  As a villain he paints his face similar to a circus clown.  His face has carved scars that make him look like he is always smiling.  This is important to his persona.  As a villain he is all about playing the character of a trickster.  The paint on his face is just another thing that adds to the craziness of his madness.  He also wears unique colorful clothing.  As a villain he represents chaos and madness.

The lighting I chose for my character is high contrast with little shadow.  This lighting describes my villain in a perfect way because as a villain he has a crazy versatile personality.  This lighting is very wacky and not sensible just like my villain.  As a villain he does not have a stable personality.  He uses his different personalities to affect his victims.  As a villain he also looks very unstable and has an "in your face" look.  He is very bold but usually all you remember about him is his face.    

This shape represents my villain in a very important way.  As a villain to create character and uniqueness  he carved his face to look like it is always smiling.  The lines in this shape represent his scarred face.  Even though the majority of the time the villain does not smile at all he jokes about being too serious, the shape represents him.  The curve of the half circle gives the character depth and as a villain my character has many personalities to his character.  The sharp edges of the top of the half circle display my characters mean and rigid personality.
