Research - Alice in Wonderland


In terms of costume, Alice is typically shown wearing a pale blue dress, a pristine white pinafore and a large black bow in her long, blonde hair. She is he seen as a figure of innocence throughout all the different adaptations of Alice in Wonderland, however, having discussed it, we plan to exploit this vulnerbale image and twist it into something quite surreal, to an almost malicious, scheming Alice.

"The tale plays with logic in ways that have given the story lasting popularity"
"It is considered to be one of the best examples of literary nonsense"

In our promotional package, we want the themes to be obvious and we want to capture some of the 'nonsense', however, we feel that our mark needs to be on it; we need it to be original and somewhat relevant to the dub step/ rock genre.

Although we do not intend to copy the characters and themes from Alice in Wonderland, we feel we need to capture the essence of it through our own input. An example to look at would be that of the recent film 'Malice in Wonderland', which is inspired by the original Alice in Wonderland. They have adopted the personalities of the various original characters, yet put them in different forms; for example, the White Rabbit is a man and the Queen of Hearts is a strip club owner.
