The Innocent Victim

The innocent victim/bystander, is usually just happen to be in the wrong situation at the wrong time, and don't have to be clueless or dumb just clueless on the situation. Without them villains wouldn't have hostages or human shields. Innocent victims could even be the superheroes of the story. Basically they are the ones who need to be saved, protected or rescued from a horrible situation or villain that may torture or kill them. These victims may also be the ones that are killed the most just to show the extent of evil that the bad guys will go to, to get their point across. The victim/bystander may be dragged into the situation as the hostage for example. As well as this they may be caught up in events that they don't understand and by the end of the film they could become something of a heroic bystander/victim and these characters could also become a main character in the film just because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

This character could be useful in our thriller film as the audience usually warms to the innocent victim, and they help add to the characteristics of the 'bad guys'. It would therefore be useful to have when keeping the audience interested in our thriller and wanting to find out more about them.
