Revealing a character’s true colours


In this article, Assoc Prof Dr ANTOON DE RYCKER of Taylor’s University, School of Communication, will take you through the ABC of picking the right characters for a given storyline and story message.

LET me start with the synopsis which is a brief summary of the plot or story. You will need to choose the characters and then throw them into situations or conflicts. Obstacles are meant to present the main characters with dilemmas that will reveal their true motives and then challenge them to overcome their own ideas, fears or flaws.
