Creating Characters

Creating characters

This is part of a script I got from the BBC writers room. The script is from the TV program 'Restless'. the script introduces us to a young woman-RUTH. In the first sentence there is a lot of outer presence description such as;'very pretty','wearing sunglasses', 'Thick blonde hair' and 'a tie dye shirt'. these outer presence descriptions help build an image in our mind of exactly how this woman looks. there is also slight inner presence here, it says she is a 'clever person'. you cant really properly tell if someone is clever just by looking at them, so we get told this because it is relevant to her character.
