- Threat is set against a back drop of a politcal power struggle
- Plots are designed to give political power to someone
- Different characters are setup to try and prevent people receiving power
- 2 sets of characters ranked in authority
The president being shot applies to the political power struggle between America and the middle east.
The terrorists are being given the political power as they are in control as they shot the president, leaving 6 million American citizens in anarchy.
There are the people set up to resist the terrorists gaining power in the form of the government and witnesses listening to the presidents speech.
The 2 ranked characters in authority are the government because they are looking to prosecute the terrorists but the terrorists have authority because they have slung the Americans into chaos by killing their leader and they are able to kill more.
Vantage Point - Challenging Conventions
It doesn't really challenge any conventions but, the actual killer is a 3rd set of character, Government and Terrorists are the immediate sets of charcaters, and the killer isn't an imediate.
