Media Evaluation

Our media product was influenced by several existing media texts, however, we was heavily  influenced and inspired by the film 'Taken'. The mise en scene was a key aspect when we took on board in relation to developing our product, as we was extremely fond of the storyline in terms of the audience being drawn in from the get go of the film, which immediately signifies action, thriller genre.

This movie opens with a shots of the protagonists daughter blowing the candles after her cake on her 5th birthday. This shot had a fuzzy, unsteady effect to it which indicates to the audience that this particular shot has been filmed with a portable video camera. In addition I believe the whole fuzzy effect signifies a dream like world. This scene quickly merges into a medium shot of the protagonist warning up, with the use of quick flashes. Then the use of the sound becomes very effective as a non-diagetic calm soundrawn begins to play which signifies a peacful relaxed atmosphere aswell as some sort of bond and relationship between the protagonist and his daughter. As he leaves his appartment a close up of a framed picture of the protagonist daughter also enhances his fathers daughter connection.
