My Idea
(Bare with me and read it all, a jumble of ideas were shooting out my head at the time this was all written)
My idea for Claudia is she is in fact vampire royalty though she has become unhinged since murdering her lover Quentin in the 80's whom was unfaithful to her (they were seeing each other she was in love) he was also a vampire. Claudia isn't any vampire she is in fact the daughter of Russell Edgington the king of Mississippi this creates a obvious link to the show with in the character of Claudia initially. I have based Claudia a little around Queen Sophie-Ann; on her child like manor and beautiful rolled hair.
The apartment in which Claudia is bound too is kitsch because in fact its dated and not aged at all since the 80's as in fact she's been inprisioned since killing Quentin; the main reason she hasn't been realised isn't due to Quentin being especially important in the vampire world but the fact Claudia isn't safe to released as she's clearly had some sort of mental breakdown episode where she in fact doesnt realise she's been held for 30 years or the killing of quentin. Claudia's apartment was originally in New Orleans though after the verdict was giving Claudia was in fact moved without her knowledge to a underground exact copy being held in secret by her father. Does she realise? No in fact Claudia knows nothing of her inprisionment she is extremely delicate and almost seems like a immature yet innocent being, when in fact she's dangerous and untameable
Her neighbours who include the character of Mrs Laderman are actually a mixture of Guards and feeders. Feeders like Mrs Laderman are wannabe vampires much like you see in the show these people strive to become the undead as they idolise the idea of living forever. Like in the brief Mrs Laderman actually in a way wants to seduce Claudia, sees Claudia as her way into this lifestyle. Mrs Laderman looks rather revealing though in her late 40's she wears clothing that would be classed as young and almost 'trashy'. Though told to dress in the period of the 80's.
Quentin himself is seen though imaginary in different forms usually being his original but sometimes changes if Claudia has a bad turn or a nightmare (these are called to guards as Red attacks, due to Claudia blacking out and becoming extremely violent, tending to tear anything in her way) The original form of Quentin whom I will be creating and shooting is best described to me as 'cool', dark hair, snake skin shirt slightly open (sex appeal) I have taken inspiration from old movie stars like Marlon Brando and Nicolas Cage for the look of Quentin. Quentin has a back story of knowing Eric from a episode of Eric posing as a Nazi officer in world war two; I had the idea of them actually meeting when Quentin was human and being friendly until his death.
Claudia herself is extremely old, though she can't exactly remember her lengthy existence, her personality is extremely young and immature even though she's in her early 20's becoming a vampire in a way was her demise. Claudia is a huge fan of old movies and actors her favourite movie of all time is "Gone with the wind", Claudia's dated television is full of recordings of old films and 80's television that reply's over and over. Claudia bases herself one the old movie actors but also her look is extremely 80's with heavy eye shadowing always being applied, she also tends to add accessories in her hair like glittery clips.
After writing my idea down we were asked to create a five minute presentation to show to a small group within our class, I think my ideas good but i just need to express it more understandably.
I created a mood board simply for the show, adding a few elements that are key and obviously important to the story, adding the main characters was important as they could be recognised, the inclusion of the wolf to show that no vampires arent the only super natural beings in True Blood there are a tonne, I think the mood boards quite cool with the blood spatter underneath. Danger is lurking
