Horror: Types of narrative




Taken

I love using the example of Taken as it fits in with are group film genre: Horror. 

Equilibrium: The daughter goes on a trip to Paris with one of her friends, her father is apprehensive at first but later comes to terms with it, The daughter is thrilled.

Disruption: At the airport her and her friend are introduced to a young man who they are fond of, he ask's if they cant meet up later and they agree. Later that day, the daughter sees that all is not well, after her and her friend are later 'Taken'. Her father immediately acts on the mission to save her.

Recognition: Finding out through a phone call  he continues the mission to rescue her, fighting all types of bad people in the sex trafficking industry. Finding her dead friends he knows he has little time to find his daughter.

New Equilibrium: The dad finally finds his daughter, she is rescued and returns to America. There relationship improve and she continues to dream of a singing career.
