Hey, blog, week #4 of my Project Portfolio has begun! I had a nice long weekend and am ready to get back on track and keep moving forward.
Naming Process!
When my group and I began pondering names, we began looking at popular baby names from the 2000s. The reason why is because the story takes place in 2024, so we wish to have our main character have a known first name and she was born in the 2000s so that is where we began diving. The main character is a Latina girl. She lives in the United States today, but she has roots in Maracaibo, Venezuela. Due to this, we delved into some popular last names from Venezuela to accurately portray her. With this research in mind, we drew up the name: Gianna Diaz!
Here are some charts we found:
Gianna's Character Traits
As for Gianna's personality, she is a very stubborn teenager and dedicated to gymnastics. Gianna has been training ever since she was a little girl, truly emphasizing her love for the sport. However, she had an unfortunate injury causing her to put a pause on her hard work. Due to her mentality, Gianna simply goes against the advice her mentor gives her and trains regardless of worsening her injury. Her obsession with gymnastics causes her to have poor relationships with others and poor grades. This will be illustrated through the lonely tone in the film caused by the shots only containing Gianna. Throughout the film, she overcomes the challenges everyone doubted her on, and eventually meets her goal! As the film progresses, her life becomes filled with more people and just success overall. At the end of the film, Diaz learns a crucial lesson of learning to balance both hard work and rest, to efficiently achieve her future goals.
