CHARACTERIZATION EXPLAINED
When authors and screenwriters create characters, they do so through a process called characterization. This generally involves providing information to the reader or viewer that builds these characters one layer at a time. By the end of the story, ideally, you would have a fully-formed character inside and out. When done right, the audience receives all this information without realizing it. In this video, we will uncover the two main characterization methods and their importance in creating dimensional, interesting, and engaging characters.
WHAT IS CHARACTERIZATION
Characterization is how writers present and describe their characters. Think about this - the task is to make the audience believe that the character is “real,” at least enough to empathize and engage with them. The audience must understand who these characters are based on how they look, what they say, how they act, where they live, what they wear, etc. A writer could just list off all of this information, but it’s usually more powerful for the audience to do their own assessment. Let’s look at the two main types of characterization.
DIRECT CHARACTERIZATION
In literature, direct characterization is how the author describes the character. In film, unless there is a narrator providing the same information, direct characterization is what we can observe about a character. For example, their appearance. A lot can be communicated immediately through the wardrobe, physicality, and hair/make-up. We can also intuit much about them from their settings, like their homes, car, or how they blend in (or not) with their environment. This is the more objective characterization technique.
INDIRECT CHARACTERIZATION
The other main type is indirect characterization, which is what we can discern about a character through their behavior, actions, and dialogue. As you’ve heard, actions speak louder than words, and it is up to the audience to decipher these actions to complete the characterization. As Robert McKee notes, “The revelation of true character in contrast or contradiction to characterization is fundamental to all fine storytelling.”
Indirect and direct characterization can yield a character we believe in and root for.

I've just noticed something I like about StudioBinder's educational videos like this. StudioBinder draws from a wide range of types of films to illustrate its lessons. While there are plenty of the "critically acclaimed" and Oscar-worthy films referenced here (as there is certainly much to learn from them), StudioBinder's editors don't seem to look down on popular sci-fi, animation, superhero movies, etc., that some critics might not consider "art with a capital A." They reference all types of films matter-of-factly, and that helps give these videos a wider appeal. I appreciate that.

An amazing example of characterization is in the movie “Drive” with Ryan Gosling as leading actor. They show you the personage from the beginning and while nothing is said to him or by him, you have an exact understanding of who the person is through some personality traits shown in around a 2 minutes scene.

You make it far too easy for me: "The Never Ending Story" Wolfgang Petersen 1984. In the first ten minutes ALL main characters have their characterizations established directly and indirectly, but the scene that is the best for this is the meeting of the various representatives of the world and corners of Fantasia. They talk about 'the nothing' and how they, as characters, will seek assistance from The Child Empress. It's a great scene, with each resident having their own opinions on rocks, food, travel, fear, combat, comradely, unification for a common cause and it starts the figurative ticking clock of the story, being the goal of the protagonist. The scene that precedes it establishes Sebastian and his world, his relationship with his father, the loss of his mother, school bullies, escaping into fantasy and the scene that follows it; deals with the introduction to the protagonist and force of antagonism of the story that Sebastian is reading. No matter how old I get, I cannot stop watching the entire movie after that initial meeting scene when Sebastian starts to read the book for the first time and through the story learns the important lesson that his father cannot teach him: That it is okay to feel sad about the loss of his mother, and 'the nothing' is simply his inability to feel anything, and instead feels 'nothing' and is 'numb' as a consequence. ♥

@AlleyKatPr0 Жыл бұрын

@@Lonelyeco Yup, Sebastian simply cannot see a future of hope due to the loss of his mother, and as such at the end he can finally imagine a future, and defies his father but NOT 'keeping his feet on the ground', but allowing imagination to free his mind of 'The Nothing', being the emptiness inside the frozen mirror of himself he confronts Atreyu, symbolically being the manifestation of his ability to fight and confront the loss of his mother. In the end he wills Atreyu to win (himself) and as Atreyu dissappears, and he takes the place of Atreyu beside The Child Empress, he who he named as 'Moon Child' which was the name of his mother. By doing so, he saved the (now) personification of his Mother (The Child Empress) and so long as he chooses to imagine a future, she will live on, in him. His mother, figuratively in his mind, is able to save him and by filling Fantasia, he fills the emptiness inside of him, and learns to have feelings through cathertic experience, rather than shutting down his emotions. The 'swamp of sadness' is a warning to him, that sadness can envelope you and you can drown if you let it... Great movie for kids to learn about emotions...other examples are 'The Iron Giant' and of course 'Inside/Out'. Emotions are tough on kids, movies can give great context to them, teaching them it's okay to have them.

Characterization is pretty simple but you can make it complicated. Essentially all it is consisting of is revealing a characters angle on life or the plotline. What do they want and how will they get it. This defines the character in the audiences mind. This is why the visual aspect of characterization is important but mixing what they say as well. Michael Corleone's characterization was a rejection of the Italian family stereotype to be a law abiding family man, then losing himself in understanding what he was good at, taking control of the family business at any cost. He learned it, we learned it with him. This is what made his interesting because it was together. The Joker knows who he is and we learn of his choices as the story progresses. You know because evil is just evil, it's not as interesting as a man realizing he has another side to him.

Too many characters on this video to mention. Another great example are the 12 angry men, each one has a unique way of being that doesn't need names. Other master of this is Scorsese. Just look how he used the voice in off on taxi driver but to be bust into images more than dialogues. That is pure craft.
