1. Textual Analysis of Drive OTS

2. Location/Settings The opening sequence starts with a wide angle panning shot. Its night time which is usually when crime is committed as they can be concealed. New York city is known for its crime rate. You can relax in big city but also it can be dangerous at night time. Urban places help to develop the theme of evil in society.

3. Lighting and Colour  Darkness and night; low key lighting Can help to develop a sense of menace and danger. Again darkness can conceal criminal activity. The protagonist face is well lit, so the audience can clearly see this main character and his expressions.

4. Props Jacket – with the scorpion hints that this character has a potential for violence, he could be dangerous Gloves – showing that his professionalism with driving Bag – creates question for the audience “what is in the bag ?” is it tools, is it proceeds from crime… Car – high performance car hints there will be speed, car chases and elements of action.

5. Camera shots and movement Medium shot Following the character Mid shot, show us that character dominant and how strong he looks like

6. Camera Angles High angles shows us night New York

7. Font  The font doesn’t really correspond with the opening title sequence and the film poster as all the writing is in pink and in a really weird type of font, and I think this may have been put in place to throw the audience of and make them think about what is really going on.

8. Sound  The music is very chilled and laidback and is almost like it is the music he is listening to in his car, also the lyrics contain the words ‘drive’ so it relates to the film in a very simple but effective way as it almost acts as a trademark sound for the film.
