<span style="color: #0000ff;">Characterisation</span>

This month's session focussed on characterisation. After the initial warm up activities we had to select a photograph of a person from a selection of postcards and a magazine.

Our first task was to describe the character:

<em>A young man with dishevilled, longish hair and a days beard growth. A half smile, there's life behind the eyes. He is bare chested.</em>

<em>His Torso and arms are covered in tattoos of various styles; intriguingly he has Montague and Capulet across his upper body: Is there conflict here?</em>

<em>His left wrist is covered in a brace indicating he broke it recently. His hands are relaxed; he appears to be comfortable with who he is.</em>

<em>He isn't muscular; has Calvin Klein underpants showing above his jeans; probably bites his nails.</em>

We then had to give our character a name and age. I called him Jim Standsfield aged 27.
