Deconstructing Characters

Protagonist:

The colors blue and purple were picked for the protagonist because the colors are analogous. Meaning that they are next to each other on the color wheel. Also they are nice and soft colors to make it look nice and calm, which the character is. He didn’t need to have strong colors because he is a good character and will save the day. These colors also go with each other when they are put together on the character so they won’t look weird or strange to see them on the character. Since they are lighter colors it’s a good indicator to the audience that this character is good and not evil. The colors suggest this so it doesn’t really have to be said out loud that the character is good. Those are the reasons I pick purple and blue for this character.

This character has very bright lighting because he is good. The light intensity if very high to show that he is always in the spot light always being there for everyone to see. He has this light with no shadows to show that he has nothing to hide and will always be there. To be some what like a shining star and to always save the day from evil. His light will usually be bright because he is there to show the way for others if they are lost or confused. I chose such a bright light because of all this. He is the good guy and doesn’t have to hide it.

 The shape for this character is a circle or a round figure. He doesn’t have any sharp edges for a reason. This is because he has soft exterior so when people see him they won’t find him threatening and could be able to be near him. It represents him being kind because when looking at a circular figure you don’t really think of anything evil or mean. Bringing us to how there is no shape edges in the circle. Showing that he doesn’t want to hurt anyone and would rather save or help him or her. I think a circular figure for this character is the best shape because of these reasons.

This protagonists name is Wallace.

Antagonist:

 The color that this character has is red. He is monochromatic, meaning that he only has one color. He only has one color but it fades to darkness because he is evil. Red is usually associated with darkness and being evil so that color would be good for him to have. This color is very saturated to add intensity. When add this intensity to this color you would look at him and right away you would think he is evil and up to no good. That is the main reason why red was pick for this character along with the fading to black to make him mysterious and look dark hearted.

 For his lighting he would not have much of it. He lurks in the shadows because he always wants to stay hidden. He is very mysterious so he won’t have much lighting when he is in the light. It gives the sense of him being unknown so we would really know what he is going to do next. Yet we know it’s going to be something evil because darkness gives us the sense of evil. He kind of hiding away from the light because of Wallace being so bright. Meaning anything good scares him and he doesn’t want to mess with it. That’s why he doesn’t have much lighting at all.

For the shape of this character, he is more square shape. He has sharp corners and doesn’t have many dimensions. Think in the form of straight lines because he only wants one thing and he is very selfish.  Also it is the opposite of Wallace and they are completely opposite. So when you see his shape you would know that he is Wallace’s enemy. This shape just gives off the impression not to mess with him and that he means no good. That’s why I think that a square shape for this character is a good shape for him to represent.

 The Antagonist name is Wesley
