Protagonist vs. Antagonist Brainstorm Writing

Copy and paste this onto your blog. (command C, command V)

You will write details about six characters; three antagonists, three protagonists.

Begin with one character, a protagonist. Write down their name. Write their current desires and motivations in life. Write down their childhood/backstory. These are the most important pieces.

Now write down their physical description, physical quirks, personality flaws. This is secondary to the motivation and backstory. It’s the icing on the cake, and it’s still important.

Now write that character’s nemesis using the exact same process (desires, backstory, physical ing onionsand personality quirks, etc). Think about why and how they are blocking the protagonist from achieving their goal. Is it malicious? Accidental?

Repeat this with two other sets of characters.

NOTE: You do not have to use all or any of these characters for your video if you don’t want to. It is an exercise to get you thinking about character building. On the other hand, this may trigger some brilliant thought that leads to a wonderful video project. You won’t know unless you put your heart and head into it.



There once was a boy named corey who all he wanted to do was get rid of commercials. He loves to watch tv but he cant stand those pointless commercials trying to sell things no one will ever want to buy. He is a small and skinny kid that is not involved with sports he is more of a movie maker than a sports guy. He also is not the most popular guy in the world. But there are people in this world that will never let the thing that he hates most stop showing in between his favorite show which is barney. These people are selfish and trying to get rich, they wear suits all the time, they are bigger and smarter than he is. they never listen to anyone especially little kids but corey has motivation to rid the world of the most pointless things called commercials.
