The social groups represented in our thriller are:
White, working class, teenage female, middle class mid-aged male, children, parents.
Gender is presented very stereotypically throughout our opening. Although he man isn't seen that much, we feel as though he dominates in the way that he abducts the baby without actually being there and being seen with the dominant male, and the passive female. Olivia is almost presented as "The Damsel in Distress" having lost the baby, and now being alone having to find her.
In the opening scene, the audience only meets Olivia and Amelia, but in no real depth you could also say you have a slight encounter with the mystery man.
Olivia in ways could appear as a stereotypical teenager, with her clothes, phone and in the way she acts however she also shows a certain independence as she is able to take out her cousin alone, although she does have a naive side to her.It's hard to represent all characters in the opening sequence, as there is no dialogue in the opening, however i feel that you can relate to Olivia, and sympathies for her and Amelia.
Although we don't meet the man, we conclude that he is a pervert and instantly think that he is the kidnapper, we get this impression though the camera shots used, the close up on his eyes and through music.
Our key character
Julia: the girl who is kidnapped in Flightplan.
Kim from the Taken.
