Taken Conventions

The micro elements which make this film a thriller are:
- The storyline is based around a crime. The daughter gets abducted while on holiday with her friends, which is an extraordinary event in an ordinary situation.
- In the opening sequence it quickly establishes the relationship between father and daughter to make the loss of the daughter seem more tragic.
- We see the daughter in a number of dangerous situations
- Camera shots are fast moving to create tension.
- close up shots are used to show the characters reactions and emotions. This increases the sense of fear when the daughter is taken.
- quick cuts are used to create tension.
