Taken opening sequence

In my presentation I talked about the opening sequence of Taken because of the use of sounds and lighting.

At the start of the opening sequence there is an old camera which gives the effect of someones watching a home video.

It then cuts to a man a sleep on a sofa and he is just waking up so we the audience thinks that the man was dreaming about the old video we have just seen. It then cuts to a close up of an instruction manual of a karaoke machine.

Then we see a shot of the title of the film and a photo of a girl on a horse which makes up believe that she is his daughter. Then the shot changes to street and the title of the film stays there.

A man then goes into a shop and takes a look at a karaoke machine so then we know why he had an instruction manual for one. The man then buys the machine and it then the shot cuts to the man wrapping it up in birthday wrapping paper and then the film starts.
