Character Types in Thrillers

For our Thriller we needed to conduct research on the different characteristics and manners of the individuals  that are found in thrillers and how their roles relate to the film.

Characters in thrillers include: 
-convicts 
-criminals 
-stalkers
-assassins 
-down-on-their-luck outcasts 
-innocent victims 
-prison inmates 
-menaced women 
-characters with dark pasts
-psychotic individuals
-terrorists 
-police officers
-escaped convicts
-fugitives 
-private investigator 
-drifters 
-duplicitous individuals
-people involved in twisted relationships
-world-weary men and women  
-psycho-fiends. 

When planning our Thriller we need to take into consideration how to incorporate the commonly used and typical characters in a thriller into our own production. We will search further into the type of characters from this list that we would like to include in our Thriller and do some research into the individual characteristics they have.
