Tips for adding emotion/drama to characters without doing much at all: 1) Give them an off-camera gaze.
Here& #39;s another good example of 1. But also 2) Give them a weapon they might use but currently aren& #39;t.
3) Hide their eyes in shadow.
4) Suggest movement around the character while the character stands still. So by doing this one, you can make the character seem like they& #39;re standing their ground against danger. The easiest way to do this is with wind.
