Narrative Analysis

What is the narrative structure of the whole film (why was it chosen)

The narrative structure of the film is Linear where it goes in order on how the events take place and it builds the tension through the middle and continues to the end. The reason this was chosen is because its an action and thriller. By filming an action thriller like this helps explain the events without any confusion. This film is all about how the protagonist solves the situation and goes through many different events.

What is the narrative point of view (why was it used)

The narrative structure of taken is restricted its all about how the protagonist goes through each event and as the film continues we discover and understand every new event with them its a film that keeps the audience feeling as part of the film. The reason this was chosen is because if the narrative structure was circular then the audience would know the ending before and it the film finishes and it will just make every event predictable and the ending of the film would not be as epic as it was,and it would not be as enjoyable.

Which narrative events were chosen for the trailer.

The narrative structure chosen for the trailer is also a Linear. This was chosen to outline the narrative events of the film and show how each event took place and what order it happened in. This also makes the audience feel as part of the film and keeps them interested. The taken trailer is all about the protagonist and how he is on a search to find his daughter in paris and how he has to get her back from a group of gangsters who have kidnaped her. The trailer also shows an epic ending but its not the same as the film itself. By doing this it still causes an enigma for the audience.
