Production Log 12 (22nd Jan.2014)
I am working in a group of 3 with Bertie Simpson and Sisi Nemeth.
My group decided to use our resources and create a plot based on a true
story. The newspaper published on 18th of September has an article about a young
girl that took slimming drugs and died. Therefore we created a mindmap and
decided that I am a Chinese chemist who uses Chinese herbs to produce slimming
drugs. Bertie is a boy who takes the drugs, Sisi will be interviewing the boy's
parents.

RESEARCH: The Opening of Taken (Pierre Morel, 2008)
Production Log 11 (21st Jan.2014)
Taken opens with white text on a black background. The black background builds up tension and suspense because black symbolises danger, mystery and death - the audience doesn't know what's going to happen next.
After the black screen, there is a low quality video that is clearly filmed by an unprofessional.You see birthday hats and birthday decorations, notifying the audience that this is a video that is shot to capture memories. We hear children laughing in the background which shows the fact that people in the video are having a good time.
Those scenes jump to where a woman is holding a birthday cake, revealing the age of the birthday girl and also her vulnerability. We see the little girl blow out the candle.
The home made video shot suddenly jumps to the main character (Brian Mills played by Liam Nesson) waking up as if he was having a nightmare.
