Jacob is an average young man who works as a HGV driver. His father, who brought him up and was very close to him, was a retired solider who fought on the front lines for Britain but got badly injured and has to be sent home. Jacob sent a lot of time with his father whilst he was growing up and they often went on camping trips on which his father taught him many survival techniques that become essential for Jacob as the plot develops. In the film Jacob loses everything and everyone he has ever loved becomes on of the final survivors left on Earth. When Jacob finds out the truth about the disease and that the government are behind it, his anger drives him to try and change what has happened.
From looking in detail at main characters in exisiting Action Adventure films, characters are very driven by their emotions. Because of this we will need to show Jacob's anger and determination as well as fear and sadness in his actions so the audience can relate to how the character is feeling. The use of giving the character a background of his father also helps the audience to sympathise with the character and feel that they know more about him.
