CHARACTERISATION IN FILM
To ensure that my characters are characterised correctly to come across ass future humans, I had to carefully consider the difference between my two stages of transhumanism.
I took the logic of more advanced technology becoming more simple to look at as I imagine it to be more discreet. This is supported by making Artificial Inteligence look as simple and human liek as possible.
The relationship represents the struggle to live in a world of advanced technology. There is the struggle with the pain of transition and als the struggle of accepting computers as the way of life.
As humans we are scared of what we cannot control, so ultimately Artificial Inteligence could take over the world and become more powerful than ever.
