Planning Focusing On The Character Development-
NAMING-
The Process of giving my character the name Luke. For the first week or two I didn't even think about what my main characters name would be, I don't know why, It just never really crossed my mind because to me I didn't find it as important to give my MC a name as it was to figure out how my movie opening would. Ultimately finding my characters name wasn't hard at all because Luke is a fake name that I use for everything when I dont want to put my actual name, no idea why, I picked Luke as a fake name one day and I've just went with it for everything else that required a fake name ever since. I actually just decided that I want to give Luke a last name because I feel like It just adds more of a personality to Luke and makes him seem like a real life person, not just someone in a movie. I also have a specific fake last name that I use, which is Lakes, so Lukes full name is going to be Luke Lakes. I'm going to have another character In the movie opening, which is Luke's mom, but Lukes mom won't be visible once in the movie opening, you will only be able to hear her voice from behind a door which is why Lukes mom won't have any name other than "Mom."
The Making Of Luke-
I recently found out that Luke means Light-Giving, and in Judaism it means, "Light To Shield Against Darkness," which in the movie opening would mean that Luke is the light and the doppelgänger is the darkness. In a way Luke is a shield against his doppelgänger that's after him which means the doppelgänger can't hurt him, but it can haunt him. Luke has no idea about that. All this is why the doppelgänger never takes action against Luke during the movie opening, for example, attacking Luke in any way. What I will do to really represent this statement is I'm going to put a necklace around my neck the represents Judaism so that some viewers could possibly put the details together and there could be a little more to my movie opening than just Luke and his doppelgänger. Luke has a pretty nonchalant personality at first since he "hasn't been feeling like himself lately," and how "something feels off" which I mentioned in my script, however, really soon after Lukes personality shifts completely. Luke goes from being nonchalant to being terrified, especially after the second time his mom knocked on the bathroom door saying the EXACT same thing as she did the first time she knocked AND her saying nothing after Luke asked why she said the exact same thing.
