Unknown-Thriller Research [Jake]


Unknown.


Unknown starring Liam Neeson as a concuss Assassin with no recollection of his actual job believes he is a biologist and that somehow, a man has replaced him as husband to his wife (January Jones)  the mood is clearly dark and Neeson is torn between his sanity and his accused insanity, we see his confusion firstly with colour correction with editing, which is dark and has a relatively low saturation suggesting mystery and danger, shots also range greatly from big close ups to common extreme long shots and seem to metaphorically collate to Neeson’s belief his mission is hopeless, of course with a plot turn you find this is not the case, sound tends to be very effective as it ranges between short dramatic crescendo's to long sad pieces, again suggesting a more psychological struggle.
Mise en scene is used in Liam Neeson’s appearance as well as Berlin as a whole, the protagonists clothes become ragged and Dirty but manage to maintain a professional look by being black and smart, Berlin is portrayed as a bustling city and neatly represents Jenner’s psychological struggle.
