Lily Allen!
G’day! It’s been quite a second since we actually talked or since I’ve been able to post on my blog. I’ve kind of sidetracked a little bit with the scheduling since trying to keep up with assignments. I recently had a cold, so I missed a day of school to rest. I wouldn’t if I knew I would need to make like a billion assignments!
Anywho, I wanted to introduce my character, the one I’ll be playing myself. Lily Allen. In the process of finding a name and her background I wanted to just take a few steps back. This character is somewhat of a replica of me so I wanted it to include many things that I greatly enjoy. So when I was first thinking of her name I was obviously thinking of flowers. Fun fact about me I actually love flowers like so much I love collecting them I love smelling them and I love seeing them. So I obviously had to think about whether my favorite flowers and the first one that came to mine were lilies. And I was like wait Lily that is such a beautiful cute name and so that’s how we first started getting an idea of her first name. What’s important to know about movies and film is that they always include the first name and the last name of the characters. There wasn’t much thought when discussing the last name of the character. We did go through websites and try to figure out some generic name that would be ideal for a character something basic and orderly. Also something that made sense for it.
We clicked on this website and scroll down to find ideas for a last name we could use, at lucky number 33, we found Allen. I think it suited the name nicely, and I loved the sound of Lily Allen.
There also something about the name that symbols hopeful and cheerful, it really vocalizing the type of character Lily is or how I would want her to be. In my storyboard and plot I discussed how Lily is a rule abiding citizen and is excited for this years selection, she’s the loud and energetic child and always knows exactly what to say.
Lily’s story
I created this mood board to create an idea of who Lily is. Lily is the girl that you always see smile, she’s always positive and loving. In my story you know that she’s looking for the selection, matter of fact, she’s praying she’s gets selected. This every burning hope is going to be crushed, I want that to show through her character development. Reality hits her hard and crushes her hopes and dreams. This needs to be shown through props, facial expressions/acting, costume and of course editing. The lighting is going to be extremely crucial for this project, but I won’t discuss further on that just yet.
Essentially that is all about Lily and what she’ll go through that changes who she is.
