Supporting Characters
It's me again, your favorite blogger! If you followed my previous blogs, we left off mostly with descriptions of mise-en-scene and Gigi. Have you ever wonder? The story line only revolve around our main character, so... Where is the supporting characters? Don't worry! We got this.
The supporting characters are physically absent but they are there mentally. For instance, Gigi's dad — our supporting character — whom made a call home to inform his absent. He attempted to text her but due to the hurried, he left with a voice chat. This plot twist our main character inner emotion from excited to disappointed. Though her dad clearly shown regret and promised to make it up for her, Gigi still can't stand the fact of celebrating alone on her most remarkable day of one's life.
In a further extent of emphasizing Gigi's inner state of emotion, we decided to add a little detail where she grabbed her family picture, where they used to spend birthday together. One happily family falls apart tragically and pressured on one another. Meanwhile, Gigi is surround with thoughts and mourning her mom. Her dad on the other hand might not noticed the fact that this is her only big birthday but simply thinks he can make up with Gigi. This create a spiraling effect that deepen to show the mental battling of our main character. She's not only sad but also learning how to accept the reality. The first lesson on her mature major path.
