why I choose my characters

Claudia- Claudia is a girl in her twenties. As a child she was left alone to develop with little parental guidance and through her relationship with T.V. movies developed an unhealthy relationship with Horror films, believing this to be the way life really is.

All the scenes take place in various parts of Claudia’s apartment, which is European in style with
a great deal of kitsch décor. She is agoraphobic and is kept in touch with the outside world by her neighbours who provide her with her every day requirements.  She models herself on a variety of girls often twisting her look to suit whichever film she is watching at the time and there is often
a nod to the main character in the current film within her appearance.

The script portrays her as psychotic and there is always the feeling that although her character is scripted/can be seen as humorous, danger is just around the corner.   However all this is normal to Claudia and she is of a cheerful disposition in this mad world of hers.

From reading this I have decided to incorporate Claudia into American Horror story but adapting her into a patient  at Briarcliff.The setting of being in an asylum will effect my character as I'm going to portray her as very  drained looking from the environment she's living in.I'm going to develop a crazed looking sleep deprived woman creating bags and blood shot eyes with a un kept hair dirty hairstyle.I feel it will appeal to the audience as I want it to have a realistic dramatic feel of what living in an asylum could do to you. 

I'm very excited to create claudia As I feel there is no limits and look forward to the final out come.

Mrs Laderman

Claudia’s neighbour in her 40’s. She alternately changes into a variety alter egos and is Claudia’s friend and confidant. Living in the apartment opposite, she was Claudia’s only link to the outside world. Although they are friends there is suspicion that Mrs L’, has designs on Quentin. In fact she has designs on Claudia

 I feel she will fit into the tv series as I had the idea of her being one of the nuns slightly changing her from a neighbour but still keeping her as Claudia's only contact with the outside world.As it says Mrs Laderman  alternately changes into a variety alter egos I'm going to base it on one of f her alter egos.'m also going to play on the fact although she has become a friend of Claudia that she still gives the audience a suspicious feel towards her.I feel it will it will fit in with the target audience as I want her alter ego to be alluring and not what you would picture as a nun.
