Original rough layout of scenes/sequencing:

Scene 1: person (main character) running toward from something falls over looks up at company logo on a building – cuts between scenes 1 and 2 with L and J cuts

Scene 2: cuts to evil corporate guy antagonist on top of said building in a news interview talking about Health AI’s company “values” – this scene introduces antagonist as well as the company, Health AI

Scene 3: shows movie title then flashback to main character in a dark room torrenting books from sketchy book piracy website:

• Dan McQuillan – Resisting AI: An Anti-fascist Approach to Artificial Intelligence
• Ken Eriksson – Dangers of artificial intelligence
• fulldocument_unreleasedHEALTH_AI_humantesting2025.pdf

and in the background the camera pans to a tv showing that one anti-piracy ad on a DVD they’re watching. Main character downloads “fulldocument_unreleasedHEALTH_AI_humantesting2025.pdf” out of curiosity, showing the unreleased info about Health AI.

Scene 4: flashback to Health AI’s unethical psychological experiments – scene cuts between these flashbacks and main character reading the documents on a computer, still with the anti-piracy ad playing in the background

• For when the unethical psychological experiment plays something from ch

Scene 5: knock on door (audience expects it to be someone about to catch main character committing copyright infringement by downloading books and pdf).

Scene 6: shows Health AI’s cybersecurity team seeding the files that main character is downloading so they can see traffic of IP addresses downloading the files (cuts between scene 5 and 6)

Filming Locations original brainstorm:

6 Munroe Lane (Albany Auckland Council Building) Scene 1 (Google Maps Street View)

Health and Safety – Cars moving around be aware of giving way to cars and other people

260 Oteha Valley Road (Albany Mitre Ten) Scene 2

Health and Safety – Keep well away from the edge as it is on the roof of a building

School Common Room Scene 3 ???

Storage Room (Junior College) Scene 4 and 5

Filming process:

• Firstly, we used the school art room to film the scene where the main character is pirating books and comes across the corporate documents. The process for this scene included me filming Zach as the main character while Alina held a torch over Zach for the lighting. Then a few days later we decided to meet at/near the Albany Mitre 10 which was where we filmed the main character running scene as well as the news report scene. About a week later, we filmed the cyber-security office scene in the junior college storage room, then during the holidays, Zach filmed the a couple scenes himself at his house that included Albert Ibarra’s in the Health AI head office, and I filmed most of the close up scenes that show the computer screen, DVDs, the TV being turned off, and the anti-piracy ad. All of the filming was quite successful, especially considering how we used multiple places for one room in a lot of scenes, such as my bedroom and the art room both appearing as the same room but from different angles in the film opening.

Rough Cuts review:

I was unfortunately absent on the day that the rough cuts review was happening so I wasn’t able to present anything with my group. Since I also had the role of post-production, Zach and Alina did not have access to the in-progress edit since I had it on my laptop, although they did share some raw footage and we did receive some feedback:

The feedback wasn’t exactly useful since it was all based on the raw footage that hadn’t been edited at all, although later once the final edit was complete and shown to the class, all feedback was extremely positive. For example, a lot of people said the edit looked “professional”.
