Taken Opening Sequence

In the opening sequence the main character is connected to the genre of a thriller by his apperence of being very dark, he is wearing dark coloured clothes and he is sitting in n a low light room which makes his apperence seam more sinister then if he was sitting in a really bright sun filled room.

Taken opening sequence

how does it fit with genre: no defining genre from opening credits, could become any type of film.
has a very similar opening sequence to 'The Game' directed by David Fincher. opening sequence shows film reels of a small girls birthday (most likely main characters daughter). Sub Genre: we cannot tell there is any sub genres from the opening credits because there is only a short film of a birthday then a face on view of who must be the main character. we cannot see whether it is a Hybrid with other genres either.

Thriller Genre

A genuine, standalone thriller is a film that provide thrills and keeps the audience cliff-hanging at the "edge of their seats" as the plot builds towards a climax. The tension usually arises when the character(s) is placed in a menacing situation, a mystery, or a trap from which escaping seems impossible. Life is threatened, usually because the principal character is unsuspectingly or unknowingly involved in a dangerous or potentially deadly situation.

Preliminary Task video

Continuity editing

Continuity editing is the main type/style of editing in cinema and television. The purpose of continuity editing is to smooth over the inherent discontinuity of the editing process and to establish a logical coherence between shots.


180° rule is a basic guideline in film making that states that two characters in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other.


Matching on action refers to a film editing technique where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action.


Shot reverse shot (or shot/countershot) is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character.
