Pictures. Case Study: The Matrix "Transmedia storytelling represents a process where integral elements of a fiction get dispersed systematically across multiple delivery channels for the purpose of creating a unified and coordinated entertainment experience. Ideally, each medium makes it own unique contribution to the unfolding of the story. So, for example, in The Matrix franchise, key bits of information are conveyed through three live action films, a series of animated shorts, two collections of comic book stories, and several video games. There is no one single source or ur-text where one can turn to gain all of the information needed to comprehend the Matrix universe." "Henry Jenkins" Case Study: The Matrix "The Matrix franchise is one of the early and best-known transmedia pioneers. The main narrative presented in the Matrix movies was self-contained but, for the enthusiastic fan, it could be enriched by information, back story, and character development obtainable only in the video games and Animatrix dvd. Social media connectivity plays a central role in the success of transmedia storytelling not only because content can flow across media channels but also because social media and networked communications have created an audience that understands, enjoys, and seeks out this kind of activity and collaboration."

  • Breaking the Code of the Matrix; Or, Hacking Hollywood
    Matrix.mss-1 September 1, 2002 “Breaking the Code of The Matrix ; or, Hacking Hollywood to Liberate Film” William B. Warner© Amusing Ourselves to Death The human body is recumbent, eyes are shut, arms and legs are extended and limp, and this body is attached to an intricate technological apparatus. This image regularly recurs in the Wachowski brother’s 1999 film The Matrix : as when we see humanity arrayed in the numberless “pods” of the power plant; as when we see Neo’s muscles being rebuilt in the infirmary; when the crew members of the Nebuchadnezzar go into their chairs to receive the shunt that allows them to enter the Construct or the Matrix. At the film’s end, Neo’s success is marked by the moment when he awakens from his recumbent posture to kiss Trinity back. The recurrence of the image of the recumbent body gives it iconic force. But what does it mean? Within this film, the passivity of the recumbent body is a consequence of network architecture: in order to jack humans into the Matrix, the “neural interactive simulation” built by the machines to resemble the “world at the end of the 20 th century”, the dross of the human body is left elsewhere, suspended in the cells of the vast power plant constructed by the machines, or back on the rebel hovercraft, the Nebuchadnezzar. The crude cable line inserted into the brains of the human enables the machines to realize the dream of “total cinema”—a 3-D reality utterly absorbing to those receiving the Matrix data feed.[footnote re Barzin] The difference between these recumbent bodies and the film viewers who sit in darkened theaters to enjoy The Matrix is one of degree; these bodies may be a figure for viewers subject to the all absorbing 24/7 entertainment system being dreamed by the media moguls.

  • Read Book the Matrix
    THE MATRIX PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Joshua Clover | 96 pages | 12 Jun 2007 | British Film Institute | 9781844570454 | English | London, United Kingdom The Matrix – Matrix Wiki – Neo, Trinity, the Wachowskis And the special effects are absolutely amazing even if similar ones have been used in other movies as a result- and not explained as well. But the movie has plot as well. It has characters that I cared about. From Keanu Reeves' excellent portrayal of Neo, the man trying to come to grips with his own identity, to Lawrence Fishburne's mysterious Morpheus, and even the creepy Agents, everyone does a stellar job of making their characters more than just the usual action "hero that kicks butt" and "cannon fodder" roles. I cared about each and every one of the heroes, and hated the villains with a passion. It has a plot, and it has a meaning Just try it, if you haven't seen the movie before. Watch one of the fight scenes. Then watch the whole movie. There's a big difference in the feeling and excitement of the scenes- sure, they're great as standalones, but the whole thing put together is an experience unlike just about everything else that's come to the theaters. Think about it next time you're watching one of the more brainless action flicks If you haven't, you're missing out on one of the best films of all time. It isn't just special effects, folks. Looking for some great streaming picks? Check out some of the IMDb editors' favorites movies and shows to round out your Watchlist.

  • The Text and Its Additions, Additions and Text – from Entertainment Supersystem to Cultural Universe Konrad Dominas
    26 fall 2016 The Text And Its Additions, Additions And Text – From Entertainment Supersystem To Cultural Universe Konrad Dominas A literary text seems in contemporary culture to be endlessly mediated by new media, as well as popular literature and pop culture. These spaces change the tone of relations between a text and its environment, creating a new perspective on the question of what constitutes an addi- tion to the text and what function it performs. As a result of these changes, a peculiar system of varied elements– literature, film, animation, internet services, social media, comics, etc. – has arisen, whose signature factor is the gradual effacement of borders between its constitu- ent parts. The text is ceasing to be a point of reference in this system and is instead becoming, for example, an addition to a film or to a sequence of computerized animation. Describing such relationships is not only a difficult task, but also a risky one. The most impor- tant problem we face in tackling it is the interdisciplinary nature of the phenomenon and the lack of a suitable methodology. Furthermore, representatives of various scholarly disciplines have attempted to develop a theory connecting literary texts, new media and popular culture and to endow them with a uniform character using various research tools. A typical feature of such theoretical endeavours is a certain kind of unification based on a terminology developed in order to cover the entire, complicated problem in its range. We thus have Marsha Kinder, who in her 1991 book Playing with Power in Movies, Television, and Video Games.

  • The New Blockbuster Film Sequel: Changing Cultural and Economic Conditions Within the Film Industry
    The New Blockbuster Film Sequel: Changing Cultural and Economic Conditions within the Film Industry Jessica Bay Interdisciplinary MA in Popular Culture Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Popular Culture Faculty of Social Sciences, Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © October 2010 ABSTRACT Film sequels are a pervasive part of film consumption practices and have become an important part of the decision making process for Hollywood studios and producers. This thesis indicates that sequels are not homogenous groups of films, as they are often considered, but offer a variety of story construction and utilize a variety of production methods. Three types of blockbuster sequel sets are identified and discussed in this thesis. The Traditional Blockbuster Sequel Set, as exemplified by Back to the Future (1985, 1989, 1990) films, is the most conventional type of sequel set and capitalizes on the winning formula of the first film in the franchise. The Multi­ Media Sequel Set, such as The Matrix (1999,2003) trilogy, allows the user/viewer to experience and consume the story as well as the world of the film through many different media. The Lord a/the Rings (2001, 2002, 2003) set of films is an illustration of The Saga Sequel Set where plot lines are continuous over the entire franchise thus allowing the viewer to see the entire set as a unified work. The thesis also demonstrates how the blockbuster sequel sets, such as the Pirates a/the Caribbean (2003, 2006, 2007) franchise, restructure the production process of the Hollywood film industry.

  • Understanding the Matrix
    UNDERSTANDING THE MATRIX Written and Compiled by David Allen Rivera (2008) "The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, when you go to church, when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes, to blind you from the truth." (Morpheus) TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter One: Discovering The Matrix …………… …..……………………………..…………………2 Chapter Two: The Call (Scenes 1-43)………………….…..…………………….….……………..…9 Chapter Three: The Training and Equipping (Scenes 44-82)………………….………………….90 Chapter Four: A Destiny Revealed (Scenes 84-220)……………………………………………..129 Chapter Five: The Truth……………..………………………………………………………….……214 Sources Consulted & Acknowledgements……………..…………….……………………….……229 All Scripture quotations are from the Authorized King James Version of the Holy Bible 2 CHAPTER ONE DISCOVERING THE MATRIX In 1999, Warner Bros. released a little movie called The Matrix . While most movies are made to entertain, and are fairly straight forward in their approach, The Matrix challenged its viewers. Incredibly unique was the fact that different people who saw it, had different interpretations of its meaning. For people to devote their time into discussing the "meaning" of a Hollywood movie illustrates the shear impact it has had. Few movies have been dissected like The Matrix . This book considers the interpretations, the observations, the symbolism, and the spiritual significance of The Matrix , and puts it into perspective. Are you ready to discover the truth behind The Matrix ? FINDING A TREASURE I never saw The Matrix when it came out in 1999.

Building upon the theory of remediation defined by Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin, I describe a contemporary facet of the relationship between these two media forms as exemplifying stylistic remediation, or the representation of one medium’s stylistic characteristics within another medium. Through the following chapters, I will investigate the complex and ever evolving formal relationship between these two media forms, which are also experiencing convergence at the levels of the industries which produce them and the customers who consume them. Moreover, I will also offer commentary upon the potential economic future of stylistic remediation and what new hybrid forms of media these trends in form and conglomeration have begun to produce.

DVD Review: The Ultimate Matrix Collection Abstract This is a review of The Ultimate Matrix Collection, a 10-disc DVD set released in 2004. This film er view is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol10/iss1/15 Fisher: The Ultimate Matrix Collection One of the most exciting features of the recently minted Ultimate Matrix Collection, a 10-disc DVD set constructed around Andy and Larry Wachowski's audacious triumvirate of blockbusters, is a special "philosophers' commentary track.” On this track, Princeton University religion professor Cornel West and the Integral Institute's Ken Wilber explore the religious and philosophical significance of the films that the collection celebrates: 1999's The Matrix and 2003's consecutively released The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. As the now instantly recognizable lines of code trickle down the screen at the start of The Matrix, Dr. West (who also co-stars in Reloaded and Revolutions) remarks that this "quantitative stress” is quite a harbinger of what awaits viewers across the nearly seven hours of film to come.
