Character Representation.
The representation of a character is extremely important in the film world because it allows the audience to understand each character in more detail. Having characters with different personalities helps keep your audience interested. This also makes it easier for your audience to identify each character separate from each other.

Good planning of the characters that you will be using. You justify you choices well by relating to the genre expectations and what these characters bring to your narrative.
