There was a big time element in our video. Relating back to the Andrew Goodwin theory, very strongly again, we found that the whole idea of 'Did we take it to far?' 'Did we chase the rabbit into wonderland?' There is this constant battle with time throughout that follows the life of the White Rabbit, when in Lewis Carrol's book, you see him appear at the start of the book, he always sais 'Oh dear, Oh dear, I shall be late!' so it automatically brings this rush to the video. We portrayed this idea through Alice's very split alter-ego personality, showed especially in our shots at the underground station, where she is simply standing still and everyone around her is moving in extreme speed all staring at her and giving her looks, making her feel very vunerable and some what startled. We decided it was a good way to connect the personalitys and the famous aspect of time. We noticed when watching 'Alice in Wonderland' and analyzing it that you can see the stop watch clock on many ocassions, once again relating back to the time element. Where Alice never really see's the White Rabbit in the film, and there is this constant mystery about why is he late? and where is he going? this related well to our music video, focusing on the mystery and fact she just want's to know and see the rabbit. We thought that Roger worked well as a connection to rabbit, with our idea of him as 'Alice's' boyfriend and they are encountering a rough patch, she just want's to see him but he keeps putting it off and sais he never has the time.
