Evaluation question 2

1. Evaluation question 2 The Driver Myles Ahwal

2. Type of character Our film is based around a male anti-hero. He is a young adult who is part of a successful overseas crime organisation. He is dressed in casual clothes however he is always acting nervous and on edge. During the opening title sequence he gains the audiences attention by fulfilling orders given via his phone. He is involved in a lot of crime which is fairly unexpected as he looks very ordinary. This is all part of his character being able to blend in with the public and keeping our plot typical to the thriller genre.

3. Mise-en-scene The mise-en-scene contrasts the rest of our film and gives it a deeper meaning. This is because the mise-en-scene is very normal, with many shots being in residential areas, not abandoned warehouses as you would expect. This makes the audience wary of the area, as if there is a hidden secret to be discovered. This is exactly the thing we were aiming for as we wanted our film to show something deeper than a criminal just driving round in a car. We wanted it to make the audience think that it could happen to them or in their area, this is why we used regular and unusual locations rather than typical ones.

4. How our character represents Frank Martin Our character represents Frank Martin from The Transporter in many ways as this film was a big influence to us when we were researching and planning our film. Firstly he is a driver in organised crime. The image below demonstrates how the two characters are similar as it shows how they are both wearing casual clothes and acting in a casual way as to appear part of everyday life and to disguise the fact they are part of under cover crimes.
