Ashley: The Protagonist

     I just wanted to take a quick blog post and explain my main character a bit deeper. Her name is Ashley and while I was going to name her Ivy (that being my nickname) I wanted something a little separate from my personal life. I will be playing her in the film opening and while you don't get to know too much about her I wanted to list some characteristics she will show in the opening so the audience can begin to get to know more about her character.

• She prioritizes work too much
• this fact is made evident by the way she ignores all incoming calls and texts when she is working on her game, even if they seem to be serious.
• She is driven
• the project that we see her work on looks well-developed, meaning she has probably been working on it for a long time. 
• she looks incredibly focused on her work and the mess on her desk is made up of things that pertain to the project, meaning it is one of the only things on her mind.
• She has family
• in the film's opening, she gets a call from her mother, suggesting she has family that she stays in touch with. several pictures of her and her mother can also be seen around the room (no father present). 
• She deals with mental illness
• in order to help draw from my own experience, Ashley has both depression and ADHD. this is shown through medication that can be seen on her desk that are common medications taken for these issues.

    And there are a few things you can tell about Ashley by watching the film opening!
