TFOM - Characters wants and needs

For my single camera production, I made sure to create a characters want and need sheet. The reason for this is because it would help for me to understand the narrative better, as well as being able to make improvements to the story, according to my characters desires. With thanks to this list, I also create the character of Lucy, because I felt George needed a want and she was his want and this all helped to be the disruption to the narrative structure.

Characters

Name: Liam Westwood
Basic Information: Liam is a 17 year old male, he enjoys going out and socialising and is a very active sportsman. His bestfriend is George Lewis and they are like brothers, they share everything together and he regularly enjoys playing Xbox with him.

Want: Liam's want is to stop George from leaving the house and to stay safe in this new apocalypse.
Need: The main desire and need for Liam is to do the right thing and use his strength to get rid of anything risking his life. This includes killing "marked ones" and dealing with a growing infected George. Another need for Liam is that he needs his bestfriend George, Liam can't function without him, George is his rock. He's always there for him when he needs him.


Name: George Lewis
Basic Information: George Lewis is a 17 year old male also, George enjoys spending nearly all his free time with his girlfriend Lucy. They enjoy going out and chilling at parks. He also likes nature and chilling indoors. He is a regular gamer, joining forces with Liam on Xbox. His bestfriend is Liam, however he constantly neglects Liam and lets him down on many occasions because of Lucy. On the other hand though, at the best of times George has helped Liam, during some hard times.

Want: George wants to leave the reasonably safe environemnt of the house to go out and find his girlfriend, not being with Lucy and knowing where she is, makes him angry. He wants her for his own peace of mind.

Need:  George needs to stay inside the house and rest up, he is growing ever so ill as the infection is hitting him and he is soon to turn into a "marked one". He also needs to appreciate his bestfriend Liam and realise that he has a point that he needs to stay safe inside because he's only going to die quicker.
