Matrix - The Pill scene

Matrix – The Pill

What extra elements “make” the film?

• Camera angles + focused shots on faces (Morpheu’s glasses)
• Dark, gothic costumes – well designed and costly
• Mysterious setting, abandoned – “putrefying elegant”
• Storm outside – sound – adds mystery and drama etc…
• Boy language and the expressions (Morpheus confident smile and Neo confused face)
• Framing of armchair and its shadows
• Colour – filtered to give impression
