  1. Character Movement

  2. Character movement • The manner in which your character moves is one of the most important aspects of characterization. Entire characters have been built around a characteristic gesture, or master gesture. Most characters lead with the parts of their bodies that reflect their nature. This is known as a leading center.

  3. Character movement • A sensual character might lead with her hips or shoulders; a nosy character might lead with his nose. Before determining a master gesture or leading center, however, consult the script (in your case narration or story). What do you know about your character’s body?

  4. Character movement • Ask yourself these questions in order to identify how your character might move: • What is my posture like? • How do I walk? • How do I use my hands? • What are my distinctive facial expressions? • Are my gestures large and wide, or small and contained? • Do I have a master gesture? • Do I have a clear leading center? • What are the rhythm and tempo of my movements? • Do I enjoy moving? • How does emotion effect my movements? • How do my movements reveal what I am thinking or feeling?
