This video is a re-shoot of a scene from The Matrix, where Neo is woken up by his computer. The point of doing this re-shoot was to learn how to set up a scene, frame the shots, get the lighting right, learn how to break the sequence up, apply sound effects, camera work, directing, acting, editng....errr...well just about everything! Well it turned out a lot better than what we thought it would and so here it is.

So if you want to have a go at learning how to make a film, why not pick a doable scene from a film and try re-shooting it to see what you can learn. Perhaps apply your own twist to see what does and doesn't work. It's a great way to learn and have fun with your mates.

Equipment used was:
Table lamp from Argos!
Rode NG2 mic and boom pole
Hauge Camera slider
Camlink pro tripod
Sony EX1 Camcorder
Matt box and focus puller
