I have chosen this series because I have watched it the most out of all the other series, and its elements interest me the most. There is a wide variety of characters which will enable me to create almost any character to do with fantasy, or on the human spectrum. The setting of this series is in a town called 'Bon Temps', which is in the deep south of the USA. This setting gave me inspiration for a character that would fit in with the hot, deserted, rustic atmosphere of the town.
True Blood appeals to a wide demographic. This is because it includes partially uncensored sex scenes, romantic relationships, good looking characters it addresses different issues and it encompasses reality and fantasy. It explores identity which a lot of audience members may empathise with. Also, it addresses the 'Southern Gothic' and slavery. Urban myths that it deals with include voodoo, Greek mythology, christian fundamentals and vampire myths, which will provide me with a basis for my characters and give inspiration for makeup and also styling, particularly the voodoo element.
