Plot Summary

In our media lesson we decided to come up with a basic outline for what our plot could be, allude to the fact that we all enjoyed the storyline, plot and suspence that the movie 'Taken' had created , we came to an agreement that we would use the plot from 'Taken' as a foundation for our one, therefore we decided that we would use the theme of someone being kidnapped and someone going in search for them. We decided to break the usual convention of the girl being kidnapped, we believed that this would be our unique selling point, due to the fact that it is not stereotypical for a male protaganist to be kidnapped, this would interest the viewer, we also decided to apply Tzvtan Todorovs theory of distrupted equilibrium, which is the theory that most films follow.

Equilibrium: Is that there are two teenagers who are a perfect girlfriend and boyfirend

Disequilibrium: The boyfriend is expectedly kidnapped

Equilibrium: Through much research and many different clues and experience the girlfriend uses these as tools to find her boyfriend


In a the busy centre of London, 2 ordinary teenagers were going about there everyday lives. school, homework and tests were all a chore, everything was completely normal, but when one of them is invited to a party and over hears a conversation between some shady characters everything changed!
Natalie an ordinary schoolgirl finds herself fighting for her boyfriends life. The police won't help her because his existence has been wiped! all she has is word of mouth and having to overcome many obstacles means every step that she takes, is another step towards never seeing him again.
An epic love tale about a girls fight for true love!
