Progress

I've completed the rough storyboard, which was designed to very briefly sum up the more complex shots/ideas in the video (i.e. the start and end) and later today will begin the official polished final storyboard which will be the basis for the animatic and will include every single shot intended for the final video.

Some changes we have already made due to logistics are:
Relocating the action to a suburban environment (as getting an urban environment would be difficult baring in mind where we live and also getting one that was not going to be interupted by passers by was verging on the impossible.

Removing the woman in the red dress character, due to not being able to find someone old enough or as obviously attractive as the woman from The Matrix in order to use the whole male gaze idea.

We're currently discussing the age and apperance of the male characters, and how they should be represented, for maximum effect on the audience.

We're using the theory of binary opposition for the protaganist and the "agent" characters, presenting the agents as slick, sharply-dressed professionals, who never break their deadpan expressions, and the protaganist as scruffy, deshevelled and constantly paranoid and twitchy.
