Unfortunately I wasn't able to find a clip of the opening scene of either Taken or Taken 2. However this clip (another action/thriller) includes many of the camera angles we used in our preliminary task and what we wish to use for our final piece and for the same reasons.

This clip used a POV angle at the very beginning, allowing the audience to be placed where the character is to get a sense of the atmosphere, the same as when we used POV in the preliminary task when our main character entered the room.
This clip also included the technique of the 80 degree rule. We used this technique to show communication and a relationship between the two characters, in this case it is used to show the relationship between the character and the destination. 
At the very start of our preliminary task we used close ups of different parts of the main characters body and relevant "accessories" for example, feet, shoes, hat, eyes. This clip did the same before the character jumped. 
The clip also used a tilt, as did we. We used the tilt to create tension when our character is first introduced, slowly introducing him to the audience. The clip also uses the tilt to introduce a character, the wall.

Overall I think this is a great opening to a film, as it leaves the audience with a tonne of questions and creating tension at the same time.
