The film starts by showing the protagonist and his family. They seem to be having dinner together and watching TV, which represents that they are a happy family. Looking at the house we can tell its a 21st Century working class environment. There is mostly natural light throughout the first couple of scenes. We can hear a slight traffic noise from outside but there are no clips of the outside world which might give the impression that this could happen to anyone. There are wearing normal everyday clothes. The wife is wearing an apron which shows that she is cooking and the husband is wearing a suit shirt which shows him as an everyday man with an office job. There is no extra make up to make the family look as normal as they can.
The director creates an upsetting enviroment in the next scene as there is disruption of the story's state of equilibrium as some terrorists get in their home and vandalize the place and steal whatever they can.
The camera work suddenly changes,with now having a series of fast cut scenes with increase the amount of tension in a scene since there is so much going on and the hero is trying to shout as he is knocked down with a tape sticked onto his face. There is a close up shot that shows the emotional state of the hero as he is watching his family getting murdered in front of him. This makes the audience focus more towards the action and dont miss out on any detail. There are special sound effects added as the screams are echoed around to give a more painful effect on the scene.
The scene then cuts to the title of the film on a faded out black background with a sharp font,similar to the story of this movie.
