Characterisation


Mental Sex
Characters see and solve problems in different ways: male and female.
The male mental sex think of things and problems literally, and have a way of going through set steps to solve problems. They see things in terms of cause and effect and look for explanations.

People with a female mental sex tend to see the bigger picture and see how relationships involved and how they balance as a whole. They see things holistically, seeing how relationships can be used to solve problems and how they are affected. Males do not always have a male mental sex, and likewise neither do females always have a female mental sex, it all depends on the person in question and how they behave.

When making the opening to my film I will take this information into account to develop more realistic characters that analyse problems in a certain way. This will make the characters seem more believable to the audience, and will mean that they will have a deeper connection to all of the characters.
