Inspiration for character persona

Two of our most significant inspirations came from misfits, a comedy-drama which included both the character traits we were looking for and a similar filming style (grey de-saturated). The character we chose from the series was a young talented track runner who aspired to be in the Olympics. In the episode it shows how because of him covering for a friend he is arrested and his life changes forever. This example is ideal for our film because many of the youth today make similar mistakes and ultimately face similar consequences. In the episode below he has a chance to change the past because of his time travelling powers .Of course this is fictional and in real life mistakes cannot be undone. This is one of the messages we hope to embed within our film , that opportunities like the Olympics should be captured and not missed or wasted.  This character will therefore be similar to ours because of his innocence, yet our character would differ because he would have avoided making similar mistakes in the first place.
