Claudia&Quentin.

For our new project we have been given the opportunity to create two characters both fictional. I will develop my characters by beginning with discovering Gothic horror. Through agents of socialization such as film,music video, through text and images. I will keep track of how I will get to my final idea.

Claudia.

I understand that Claudia has always had an unhealthy relationship with movies. She has a soft spot for horror.She does not get out of her flat making her become rather unwell mentally and perhaps physically. She is isolated from the world. All she knows is from what she watches. Therefore her clothing will be inspired by the latest horror film she is watching; as well as how she wears her hair and makeup. However i understand that this look is or a music video. Usually in music videos the women look attractive therefore she will be very attractive with references with horror and Gothic within her makeup and styling, keeping up with pop culture.

Quentin.

Quentin is Claudia's boyfriend. Sometimes he's nice to her, sometimes he is vile. He messes with her emotions. He really is a different person everyday. He looks different everyday.However Claudia is completely in love with him. However like Claudia depending on what horror movie she is watching again he dresses, wears his hair etc like the characters in the movies. He has personality characteristics to the men in the movies. One day he's a hero the next day he is a psycho. The only problem is about Quentin is he does not exist. He is a figure of Claudia's wild, terrifying imagination. By understanding this I will try and get in the mid set of the character that I choose for Quentin. Again I will apply characteristics of horror to my character but in a pop culture/fashion sort of way.

For this project I think it is extremely important to pick the right model for the characters, as models make a huge difference. I will take a good think about what I visualize the image to look like.
