Shooting Progress 5: Alice in Wonderland

We ensured we used a variety of angles in order to present our music video clearly. We used tilt shots in order to create the whimsical atmosphere to hint to the audience that something is not right. We also used establishing shots in order to present the location that is distinctly different to the one in the first scene of our main protagonist drinking out of a cup, causing her to transport into Wonderland.

Wonderland is very whimsical and therefore we needed to use mise en scene to create this magical atmosphere to our audience. A lot of the inanimate objects, as seen in the latest film adaptation, were seemingly alive and therefore we needed to create the same effect.

Alice's costume is very easily recognisable and therefore we included the blue dress with the collar and the black bow headband. Therefore our audience are able to understand what character we are portraying.

 

For most of our previous shots, the location used was the UEA, however in order to entertain our audience being that it is a music video, we decided to film the Alice in Wonderland scenes in the plantation gardens. My group and I felt it had the wonderland look and therefore would be a perfect location to use.

Along with Alice, another crucial character of the story is the Mad Hatter in which is another significant hint to our audience of what story we are presenting.
