Here is a list of requirements for a cinematic character.

• They must be EMPATHETIC, have an internal and external struggle. They must have an arc.
• VULNERABLE, they must tell us what their vulnerability is.
• Your character should be an UNDERDOG...
• But also be LARGER THAN LIFE.
• Give your characters STRENGTHS-Something that they are really good at, but...
• They need FLAWS that could be fatal. Characters with doubts and faults are more interesting and believable.
