Supporting Characters

Good afternoon! With filming of "Super"-Hero just a few short days away, I think its as good of a time as ever to go over some of the side characters that are seen in my team and I's final project.

Robbers

The robbers are the main antagonists of the introduction, they're the first characters that are shown and introduced to the audience. As the main driving force for the plot, the camera follows their break in to an innocent home owners house, where they ransack the place, stealing any valuables that they can get their hands on. 

The robbers seem to be very panicked throughout their burglary, with this seemingly being their first time giving crime a chance. The robbers each try their best to be as quite as they can be, only whispering to one another. While at the same time, they are all visibly scared that someone is going to catch them in their heinous act. Because of their panic, they accidentally make multiple slip ups, such as accidentally running into the owner of the house they are robbing, and not being able to find anything too valuable while rummaging through the house. 

Along with this, as far as their personalities go, each robber is not that different from the other, and this is done intentionally. We feel that giving the robbers overly distinguishable traits between one another would just draw attention away from our protagonist, so we decided against it. You see, the robbers are just minor characters in the grand story, with the main focus of the introduction being Power-Man, as he comes to save the day and stop these evildoers from harming anyone else.

Homeowner

Along with the robbers, there is just one other supporting character, that being the unsuspecting homeowner. The homeowner doesn't have any distinct or important traits to him, with him being a very minor character in the story, acting as a comic relief character, with his whole purpose being to be knocked out by the robbers during the home invasion.

With his sudden appearance as the robbers are sneaking around, he is quickly knocked unconscious as they didn't want anyone to get hurt while they were stealing. This quickly freaks the robbers out, as they begin to panic, hoping to find anything of value quickly, before running away from the crime scene.

When Power-Man makes his triumphant entrance, the unconscious homeowner laying on the ground will act as motivation for him to stop the thief's in their tracks. In the end, with no spoken dialogue, the homeowner is just shown to be generic person, not going into detail with his personality or characteristics. The character as a whole serves mainly as a plot device, driving the robbers and Power-Man further along through the story.

If we had more time, perhaps the introduction would show off the homeowner more, but due to the two minute limit, this is as far as my team and I can develop such a minor character.
