The 2nd suggestion was a ‘Taken’ style thriller
genre. ‘Taken’ starred Liam Neeson as a
retired CIA agent, whose daughter goes to Paris with a friend on holiday. When they tell a stranger they share a cab
with that they are alone, an Albanian gang of human traffickers kidnap them. The film is based on Neeson’s reaction and
his will to find his daughter and her friend.
We believed the title
credits to be of the main character on the phone, with the kidnapper on the
other end. The audio of the two
characters talking would bridge over and accompany a pan and fade to black of both
characters, to show that they are talking on the phone. A medium close-up would show the main
characters fear and reaction to what was being said. The kidnapper would be a dark shot, with no
clear view of his face, which would build tension. This could be an over the
shoulder shot of a pad, with a list of his demands. We agreed that this would be a good genre to
use, however it would not give us enough creative freedom as we feared it would
look a little cliché and trailer-like.
