Before I start writing my screenplay I need to develop the characters to further to help get an idea of who they are, what they do and why they do it.
Film Name: Part Timer (name subject to change).
Main Character - The Doctor - called 'Dr Barnaby Ruislip'.
In his late 20s/early 30s.
A man who has recently graduated in to being a doctor. He spent 7 years at University and obtained a first class degree. He cares about his patients very much and always wants the best for them. However, whilst he was at University he got involved with a 'off the books' loan company that lends money to people, even the ones who cannot be trusted at paying back. They get the money back by 'physically' forcing people to give it back.
Since his return to home and start of proper work, the doctor has continued this work 'part time'. He leans money to struggling, vulnerable people and if they don't pay him back he threatens and punishes them.
Main Character - The Man in the boot of the car - called Alexander Woodstock.
In his mid 20s.
Is a man who has had a difficult upbringing and is unable to obtain a job. He has a large family which he needs to provide for. However no-one will lend him money so he has turned to the 'doctor'. He borrowed a substantial amount from the doctor a month previously, but now has no way to pay him back. So the doctor is taking action.
Secondary Character - a patient in the surgery - called Chris Hargraves.
Teenage boy aged 17.
A patient who has had a bad cold and headache for many weeks. He wants the help of the doctor to get him better.
Secondary Character - a patient in the surgery - called Albert Davies.
An older man who has a bad leg and is hobbling, he has had the injury for many years and is waiting to be referred to a specialist. He is hopping Dr Ruislip can help.
Secondary Character - Police #1
A plain-clothed middle aged police officer who has an ID badge around his neck. He is carrying handcuffs and a baton. He is responding to a call of a burglary when he is introduced into the film.
Secondary Character - Police #2
Another plain-clothed police officer a little younger then the other one. This was responds to the orders of Police #1.
