After watching this documentary as a set task I had a few ideas on how to improve my characters background story and to try and get the audience to feel for the characters and what their going through.
The next task I picked was to Invent a Superhero for current times and explain how they fit into the criteria explored in the Secrets of Cinema episode.
My superhero would be a young girl and her super power is helping the environment and all the life forms stay alive and help protect all the animal/nature from being destroyed.
Her name is Nelly Nature Girl. She has heeling powers that can work on trees/plants and animals.
Nelly discovered her powers when she was 5 years old. Her pet rabbit Buddy got cort in a fence. Buddy’s leg had a big cut on it and when Nelly rescued him she held him in her arms and said everything would be okay. A few seconds later the cut had heeled and Buddy has fine.
Her number one villain is Diana The Destroyer. Her power is that she can destroy anything with a click of her fingers and dosnt care of the consequences.
Nelly’s day job is that she works for one of the biggest nature magazine companies in the world. She is a editor. Also by doing this she can find out the whereabouts of her biggest villain.
She keeps her identity a secret. Her costume is different shades of green with lots of green sea-quines. She also has a pin badge of buddy on her consume She has big black boots. She always has her long blue hair flowing down. But at work she has her hair tied up and wears a baseball cap.
When Nelly was little she used to live in a big city until her mum and dad split up and she moved with her dad to the countryside and found her love of the outdoors and nature. Her mentor is her dad who is a zoo-olagist and shseres the same love of animals as Nelly.

Well done, Poppy — there’s some lovely ideas in here, and I could see it working really well as a Studio Ghibli-style thing. A couple of notes: firstly, just run a wee spellcheck before posting, and it’ll catch some of the typos. (I do this before sending big emails — always catches something!) And secondly, you could push this post further by expanding on some of the things you’ve created — thinking about research and development, for instance, and how you came up with these characters, or how you evolved them. Similarly, you could sketch a costume or create a moodboard of similar ideas — using visual evidence is always a strong way of expanding your work. Good stuff, Poppy — try to push it a little further next time!
