Friday we had to pitch the Alice in Wonderland idea to Mike. Michelle wasn’t too keen on the idea and thought Mike wouldn’t be either but I thought it was worth a shot as I really liked the idea of it and had written a draft script for one of the chapters.

When talking with Mike we decided to take a couple of chapters from the book and convert them into internet conversations. So now we need at least 8 peoples voices for recording the different characters.

The story will be told to the rhytm of people typing. For example when someone if arguing the typing becomes quicker and louder but when normal conversation is happening it’s slow but sets the rythm for the whole story.

I choose the idea of Alice in Wonderland as it shows Alice’s journey through a stange world and how she makes friends through different circumstances. (In our film it will be about how she makes friends through the internet) But also how she struggles with changing her height so much (In our film it will be about how she changes her identity, with each new friendship she forms)

We decided not to use shots of people because it spoils the story a bit so instead were going to build it in flash so that when people speak the words appear on the screen and all the words will build up until the screen is totally full with words and then thats when the story ends.
So all in all Alice in Wonderland becomes a metaphor for the story of friendship and identity… ta dahhhh
