Film Project Planning Research-The Matrix

The film we are creating is a science fiction based around the idea of a simulation.  One of the most iconic simulation based movie was created in 1999 and had a series of movies created in the early 2000's, this movie is called, "The Matrix".  In the first two minutes the audience meets Trinity who has just don't something illegal and is caught red-handed by the cops.  This leads to Trinity fighting off the cops and running away from the men in suits.  The first 2 minutes offered an establishing shot of the cops looking for Trinity in a very eerie apartment complex.  There is an over the shoulder shot showing the high number of cops shining flashlights and weapons at Trinity's back.  The editing of used on the computer made it seem as if the audience was going into the computer adding a suspense in the first 2 minutes.  The dialogue spoken by one of the men in suits says, "The orders were for your protection.". This adds a suspense element to the cops and men trying to catch Trinity.  Incidental music was played while Trinity ran away from the men in suits which added a danger and suspense element to the runaway sequence. The costuming used for men in suits and glasses makes them look out of the ordinary and mysterious, when compared to the traditional uniform worn by all of the cops. No jobs were featured in the opening credits, but  the Warner Brothers and Village Roadshow Pictures logos were featured.  The Matrix's budget was set at 63 million US dollars and made 463.5 million US dollars.  The film received many awards at the Oscars in 2000 such as best film editing,best sound, and best effects.The film won may other titles besides the Oscars at many other film ceremonies.  While analyzing the first two minutes of, "The Matrix", it will help furthermore my planning for the film project.
