for this project I aim to lure the reader into a false sense of reality by creating a fictitious scenario and present it in a manner where the viewer (hopefully) perceives it as a truth. In order to achieve this I have created a character by the name of Paul Allen, an eccentric photographer/artist who is re-knowned for his "avant-garde" approach towards his work. In essence, Paul Allen is a horrible person, he's rude, arrogant and justifies his mistreatment of everyone and everything as a "concept". He is supposed to be a parody of some of my most loved and loathed people all rolled into one, an homage but at the same time a piss take. I wanted him to have at least one thing about him which you would find endearing, and hopefully this single likeable trait is that he has the ability to make you laugh.
I wanted to create something that people will hopefully find funny, with the exception of the realistic portrayal of characters, humour was definitely something which was very high on my agenda, as was providing Paul with the necessary sense of "mystique" that a person who doesn't actually exist deserves . In order to achieve this mystical quality i decided that it would be best for you to never see him, my aim is that you judge him on his work and what "others" have to say about him.
