The Matrix: Analysis

The film 'The Matrix' Is probably one of the best examples of the Sci-Fi/Post-Modern films to date. The short film I create may feature similar scenes to the matrix such as the fighting simulation or other simulation scenes. The Matrix played a big part in creating story concepts for this film.

The Matrix is a Sci-Fi film in which a man finds out the world he lives in is a lie and is simulated to keep his brain active so he can be used as an energy to robots humans created. He joins a group dedicated to destroy this simulation and he discovers that he is 'The One' which means he is the savior and destroyer of the Matrix.

This follows typical genre conventions (a fear of the alien, machines and lights etc.) Which I don't think my film will follow. My film is Sci-Fi but will feature no Alien contact and the machines are as simple as a computer and peripheral devices for it.

The film is also aimed at an audience between the ages of 15-30 which isn't my ideal demographic but IT shows that Sci-Fi can appeal to most age groups that watch films.

The film I will produce will differ from the plot of the Matrix as The main character starts off in a world where he knows what is real and ends up in a world that confuses him. The world he creates destroys his real life and he seeks comfort in the fake world.

The element of The Matrix I want to utilize is the agents and their duplication. As this world i a game world, there are going to be glitches and anomalies and I like the idea that the same character is reused as an extra. This is all well and good but will require a lot of attention and editing for a small establishment between the worlds and I'm not sure it will be worth the extra filming.
