Character Development

        What is character development? Character development is the process of a character in a story changing and evolving over time by revealing their personality, desires, and how they respond to challenges. This allows the audience to connect with the character on a deeper level. Before I talk about how im going to develop my character I need to describe who my character is and his traits.

          While trying to look for a name for my character I looked up golfers. One name that stuck out was Bryson. I liked this name cause it’s basic and it rolls off the tongue nicely. Bryson is a teenager around the age of 16-18. He’s more on the older side because he's working and employed. Bryson lives with his mom and dad and older brother Mark. Their family is middle class and financially stable. Bryson doesn’t like his job working at a golf shop, however his parents are forcing him to work because they think it’s good to be making money. Bryson’s dislike for his job influences his dislike for the sport he works for. Bryson is an impatient person and gets easily bored and lacks interest in precision sports. Everything there is to like about golf he hates. However his whole perspective changes when he see’s this beautiful woman walking into the golf shop. Bryson is then motivated to learn the game of golf so that he can get closer to this girl. This girl’s name is Alice, I don't know why but it sounds nice.

           Bryson is like Happy Gilmore in a way but not really because Bryson has his whole family and Happy had to move into his Grandma’s, but they both have a reason why they’re going to play golf. Bryson is going to play because of a girl and Happy plays because of money. Now how am I going to develop Bryson? I’m going to transform Bryson through dialogue and his actions. At first Bryson is going to dread being at the golf shop and then he’s mesmerized by the girl and then he tries to swing at the ball and miss. He gets mad and quit, because I need to have some comedy in my opening. I hope that I’m able to make it look better than it sounds but I feel like my idea is good and will be done well.
