Planning of Characters in Left Behind

From our research we found that psychological thrillers include a vulnerable female role as the main character. For example, in 'The Girl on the Train' and 'The Snowman'. Due to this research we chose to make our main character a female. We decided to keep our character list quite small so we don't confuse our audience, especially as we plan on using non continuity editing. The police and the news reporter will be featured in our trailer to include a sense of verisimilitude and to make the film feel more real for the audience.
