Character Development

Character development in scriptwriting refers to that element of a process by which Life is given to a narrative through the creation of multidimensional, relatable figures. It’s a process of detailed backstories, defining distinct personalities, and setting clear goals and motivations for each character. Writers get to explore characters’ strengths, weaknesses, and inner conflicts to find out that they grow toward something meaningful across the story. Through dialogue, action, and interaction with other characters, their personality is slowly unmasked to show deeper dimensions of their personality and drive the plot forward. Character development helps writers make sure that audiences can become attached emotionally to such characters and thus find their journeys interesting and outcomes moving. This is a complex process, and believable and wonderfully memorable characters cannot be born without it.
