Character Analysis

In our Film Directing class today, we learnt the fundamentals in creating characters in a film. Here's 2 insightful equations:

1. Character + Objective --> Actions
2. Objective + Actions --> Character

We watched a short film by Martin Scorsese in his segment of the New York Stories: Life Lesson starring Nick Nolte as an artist. His character is studies as a case study in how the character is being told to the audience via his actions and his objectives.
