CHARACTER ARCHETYPES

Which archetype seems easiest to write? Which do you think seems the most difficult? Why? What archetype do you understand the least? Why? What kind of hero's do you like telling stories about?

I feel like the mentor is the easiest to write, seeing as they are just help so if there's a plot hole, the mentor can help fill in the background info that the audience needs. I think the main character is the most difficult. The main character has to be simple enough to be average but complex enough to stand out from society to be the main character. The shadow is something that I feel like I may struggle to do as well because I don't like to keep my antagonists as 100% bad. I need a reason for my audience to see the reason behind their actions and possibly sympathize with them.

You know more than you think you may know. This class is going to be a lot of fun but also really stressful. Be prepare...

SHOOTING OUTDOORS

What are 3 considerations you must keep in mind when shooting outdoors? How would you use a reflector? Why? 3 considerations to keep in mind while shooting outdoors is that the subject has to adjust to the light so they aren't constantly squinting. The reflector is usually used to even out harsh shadows and give better lighting. There are two sides to it. One has a more metallic look and the other side is white which makes the reflection softer.
