diving into the characters

 Now that I have an idea set in stone I want to analyze each of the characters and what they would be like.

 So first we have to start with the main character I've been thinking of a name and I really like Olivia, I think it is so calm and I think it will balance the character out since she is so chaotic. Having a name for the character makes things so much easier...  Olivia is a misunderstood character but I think she looks very put together, she speaks in a good manner while still being a teenager and using slang. Olivia doesn't seem to care about anything but if you got to know her you would see that she is a super caring girl who has a very deep side that people ignore. The only outlet she has is music, olivia listens to very unknown music that not a lot of people and it's the only thing she relates to. She understands that music means something and is more than just lyrics.

Olivia's mom will be named Claire, she is very much a working woman who prioritizes work over everything. She is a very together woman but inside she is a mess, we can see this in the scene where Olivia tries to talk to her, her work table is filled with random papers and she is very confused looking for what she needs. Claire and her husband have been struggling with their marriage for years and they have been separated multiple times but they never got a divorce. A big issue is their finances because her husband doesn't have a job and just kind of jumps from one place to another which is why she is always busy with her work, making sure her family is well off. She doesn't notice her daughter's struggles and just thinks she is like every other teen who is sad sometimes, their relationship isn't that good since she is always working but Claire sees no issue with that.

 Olivia's dad will be named Jackson,  he is a very nerdy guy who loves his family, but his life recently hasn't been easy. He has been having problems with his wife for a while but he loves her and his daughter he just has a hard time expressing it. Being the only man in the house makes him feel very awkward about everything so he and his daughter don't talk a lot. He has been jumping from one job to another and hasn't found anything permanent but this is not from a lack of trying, we see how passionate he is when he is arguing with Claire about their finances.

The mysterious person whom Olivia meets in the bathroom is a girl named Hazel. Hazel is a very basic-looking girl who you wouldn't know had anything deep to her. Hazel has been through a lot from changing schools very often and her parents' divorce she is a person Olivia will be able to connect with and find herself in. Although hazel looks very sweet and blends in her personality is quite the oppositive she is a super crazy girl but also cares about her friends very deeply, and she understands things most kids her age don't. She will be what saves Olivia from herself and her problems.

These are all the main characters for now. By talking about each of these characters I can now develop the script and shots way better because  I now get a feel of each person. By figuring out the way Olivia acts and talks I can make her shots different than her mom Claire, and even the way they interact.
