Evaluation - Question 2

1)Portraying the main character was fairly straightforward for us, as we wanted to audience to interpret the main character as someone with an ambiguous background.
 The age of the character is supposedly close to our target audience, so around 16 to 20. The ethnicity of the protagonist is left ambiguous in order to allow for a wider possible association.

The protagonist running is a portrayal of running away from our own problems.

The sounds we made and used were there to establish the sense of something that is not human, but machine. This raises the theme of human and machine combining, as that is what happening to the main character.

2) Dreamcast - Alicia Vikander. As we only have one actress in the entire opening, this is fairly simple for us to decide. The reason why we chose her is due to how she played as one of the main characters from Ex Machina. The concept of a cyber world, and a mix of machine and human of our opening is very similar to Ex Machina, so it seems fitting that we would choose her.

3) The protagonist for our opening is a material representation, a trope, for the struggles and inner conflicts that humans face, particularly teenagers and young adults. She addresses the question of identity, and learning about yourself as a person. Many teenagers would be able to relate to this, as this is a inner conflict that many of them might've faced.
