Over 25 ways to make the audience love your characters and relate to them emotionally so that they will care about what happens to them in your story. If audiences do not like your main characters they will not want to keep watching your film. From the book "Developing Digital Short Films" (New Riders/ Peachpit 2004) and the new 20 hour DVD Workshop "Writing A Great Script Fast" by Sherri Sheridan. Workshop and free online film school at MyFlik.com.

  • Thanx!

  • Character Identification is so important! There are many low budget films I have seen where I just do not like or identify with the main character or others. Pixar is the best at making us love characters like rats that cook or little fish in big oceans.

    First few shots of any character needs to be DRIPPING in as many of these ideas as possible. If viewers do not like your characters, they do not care what happens to them in Act 2. Even your antagonists have to be likeable in some way.
