For this assignment I decided to talk about the production
designer. The production designer for the matrix is Owen Paterson. He is
notorious for his work in The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, and V for Vendetta.
Storyboards- The storyboards for the Matrix are absolutely
amazing. They were very well put together. The PD puts the storyboards together
and then meets with the director to show him how best to shoot the film.
Location- location is everything. One of the most important
jobs of the PD is the choice of location. In the scene that we chose the group
is on a rooftop. The rooftop is located in Sydney, Australia. Obviously there
are a lot of special effects in the scene as well. The location and background
are necessary to pull the attention of the audience into the movie, they want
to make it as believable as possible.
Helicopter- I wanted to talk a little bit about the
helicopter because although it is in the background it leads the story into the
next scene.
Use of green screen/cgi- the PD looks for design elements to
determine whether they should use a green screen/cgi or not.
The PD also deals with the budget.
