Main Character Analysis

Greetings fellow bloggers! Today we at Cinemarcus Productions are thrilled to look closer at our intriguing protagonist Kendrick in the film opener! We will explore his character traits and the rich symbolism he contributes to the story. But before I get into detail, I want you guys to know that my friend, Freddy, who is NOT in AICE Media Studies, is helping me bring this story to life by playing Kendrick! Fun right? Well join us on this post as we talk about his personality  and his deep impact on our film opener!

Physical Characteristics: 

Describing physical characteristics, Kendrick’s physical appearance tells us a lot about who he is. He has large expressive eyes that draw attention heavily, giving him a look of constant curiosity. He also has a large nose that adds a bold and distinguished feature to his face. Kendrick also has glasses with thin frames that complement his kind behavior as well as kind of dark hair that's well styled with a middle part!

Costuming:

In our previous blog post, we had talked about Kendrick's outfit for the opening scene, which you guys know primarily about! If you don't remember, he is dressed in a white shirt and comfortable denim jeans, complemented by his headphones. Kendrick's headphones also serve as a really important role in this opener! Basically it sweetens his enjoyment of his overall surroundings and symbolizes his deep connection to the world around him.

 Personality/Psychological State:

The main idea of this opener was mainly to highlight Kendrick's loneliness in which he has no friends. The mall scenes throughout the film opener basically contrast with the somber reality that is surrounding him possibly in real life and not his mind, revealing the deep emotional pain of his character. More importantly, his mental state is intensely lonely because of the lack of meaningful relationships in his life as seen with him dreaming about fake friends. This deep emptiness inside him basically highlights his sense of isolation while differing with the friendships he desires, making his reality even more painful than you seem. Psychologically, he appears to be grappling with feelings of low self-esteem because his imagined happiness isn't real. Between his dreams and his actual reality, this shows a sorrowful part of Kendrick wanting someone to talk with him...
