For our brief, we were told that we had to pick a Gothic Horror television series and then create two characters and looks for it. We had a choice of two of three characters:
- Claudia - a teenage girl obsessed with gothic horror who lives inside her own fantasy world and is very disassociated with reality.
- Quentin - Claudia's imaginary boyfriend that she believes is real and alive. She is very protective over him and he wants her to be happy,
- Mrs. Laderman - the next door neighbour, around middle aged.
I decided to create Claudia and Quentin for my characters as I felt there was more I could with these characters and their relationship.
We were then given a list of television shows we could choose that our characters would be more. The options were:
- American Horror Story
- Bates Motel
- Dexter
- The Walking Dead
- Hannibal
- Grimm
- Penny Dreadful
- Hemlock Grove
- True Blood
- Supernatural
- The Strain
- In the Flesh
- Being Human
I decided to base mine around American Horror Story. This is mainly due to the fact that it is my favourite show and I have watched it multiple times so felt very familiar with the show and felt that I would more confidently create my characters.
We were then given a list of words and had to pick one for each character to base our look and story for them on. The words were:
- Blue Coat
- Special Delivery
- Ascend
- Hydrobath
- Red Rave
- White Rose
- Glass Prison
- White Rave
- Fork
- Taste
- Bandages
- Save Us
- Stitches
- Hellevator
- Veiled
- Slipping
- The Woods
- Exam
- Spinning
- Face
- Door
- Spiral
- Awakening
I decided on 'Red Rave' for Quentin and 'Save Us' for Claudia after I had decided on their backstory.
