Through aspects of continuity editing, audio continuity, and complexity editing, Stone makes sure that all the pieces fall in line to create a coherent 4 minute scene.…

Instead the Matrix achieved what a sci-fi film should achieve, in the sense that it ticked all the boxes for a good sci-fi film, while also being successful in genre crossing and character development.…
