Production Update


I screenshotted a few various images from our video. This shot was taken from me lying in the rabbit hole. I am holding a cigarette to represent Alice's bad side and her contrasting to the Alice that is portrayed in all the books and films, being very delicate. ''Alice is portrayed as a quaintly logical girl, sometimes even pedantic. It tells of a girl named alice who falls down a rabbit whole into her fantasy world (Wonderland) populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. this tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults and children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre.''
We played of the idea of 'nonsense' and 'peculiar' and used different ideas to how we could show this. We was originally going to use the idea of different animals, figures and random objects coming alive, but we then decided against this as the animation element was too hard. We did try to use different forms of animation like stock motion and adding in further animation, but we just found that it didn't fit well and didn't really work as it would have just taken too long to have produced, for it to look reasonably good.


This is just a shot of Roger that we have used, just representing the studio that we placed him in for the video. We used this as it would make his role look subtle, but still stand out. We put him in black and white to represent his contained life since he has been going out with 'Alice' as he cannot deal with her behaviour and actions. We focus a lot of our ideas and shots in the video and obviously our main idea of basing it around 'Alice in Wonderland' from a line that is in our chosen song 'Did we take it to far, take it to far, did we chase the rabbit into Wonderland?' this is saying did they take they relationship to far as he has had enough of it all, and using it as a future line and he is basically asking himself will he follow his girlfriend into wonderland and be pressured into her intoxicated life of drug abuse.
