Character Development

Ben

Ben is the main character of the film, the "hero", according to the character theory. Developing Ben's character is extremely important since the whole movie surrounds him and his actions. Ben is introduced to the audience as an innocent guy who is attempting to clear his name from an unfortunate situation he was accidently tied into. Throughout the movie, Ben is helping detective Travers to solve his case while showing his impressive skills and "natural talent" in murder cases. At the very last scene of the movie, the audiece find out that Ben is in fact not innocent at all, but a serial killer that worked on the case where he was guilty in all along. 

Travers

Travers is the helper of the film. He helps Ben to clear he's name and get him out of danger while having no clue Ben is an extremely dangerous individual. Throughout the movie, the audience realize that Travers is very intellegent, and although sometimes he was slightly suspicious in Ben, he was too trusting to figure out the whole truth. I chose the name Travers based on the author of one of my favorite books as a child, Mary Poppins, written by P.L. Travers. 

Ivan and Mavrick

Ivan and Mavrick are the villans according to the character theory. The film begins after Mavrick gets shot. Although he isn't alive during the movie, his character is very veluable since the movie focuses on solving the case of who shot him. Since the first second of the film until he's behind bars, Ivan is chasing Ben, while at the same time, running away from Travers. Through his actions, the audience can infer that his intelligence is avrage and that Ben and Travers will catch him eventually. I chose the names Ivan and Mavrick by searching through different statistics lists, until i came across thoes two names that simply felt right and fitting to the characters.
