The document provides a storyboard summary for a chase scene in The Matrix. It describes a sequence of shots including overhead, medium, and long shots from different angles. The shots cut between straight-on views of the characters and are accompanied by up-tempo chase music, sound effects of footsteps, guns, and a landing. The camera movement includes pans, zooms, and movement with or backwards from the characters. Dialogue and music build tension throughout the sequence.

Soundtrack:
Throughout the film, a combination of sound effects, music,
dialogue and voiceover (e.g.: a phone call or an off-screen
character) are used. During this section of the film, the
soundtrack is extremely effective as it uses a music track with
beats similar to that of heartbeats and/or footsteps- this builds
tension and grips the viewer. The simple sentence of the police
officer (‘That’s impossible’) adds to the special effects and
expresses what the viewer is thinking. It also dramatises the
special effects by showing that that was not normal for the
world and enforces that these two characters are beyond the
norm.
