Alice in Wonderland redesigned

So our job this week was to redesign the Alice in Wonderland (2010) set where she both shrinks and grows in the matter of four minutes, but not into just any ordinary design but into one of the darkest and mysterious designs going, into the Alien (1979) theme.

This is mine and Jasmin Sanders' idea, as you can see the drawing has no colour, the reason for this is because in most of Alien, there is no colour other than dark blue, black and metallic colours. Having no colour also gives it a more mysterious, grunge look which may help build up the tension if Alice was to shrink and grow in this dark compact space.

Our design has a mixture of scales, bones and shapes of what the Alien creatures have. If you look closely to our design the top section of the set is in-fact the shape of the Alien head, the rigid marks that are made are scale like. We've given some rips in the wall to show that maybe the Alien had been there before and got angry?

The main door that is most likely the main focus of the idea, has dark features to it and also the alien scales, the top again like the top section of the overall design is the alien head (as seen in the photo next to this paragraph.) This gives it a grunge look and also reflects the Alien theme. 

This small section here shows a table, this table reflects back to the original table in Alice and Wonderland. However, this design has the head of an alien on it. Me and Jasmin had discussed how we'd like her to get through the door and how we would like her to shrink and grow. Basically, we came up with the teeth being the key to one of the doors, but which one? Then the alien's blood would be the potion that would shrink her and the alien skin (ew) would be the ingredient that would make her grow. 

 The costumes done by Jasmin are very unique, grunge, and Alien themed. The first design (the larger costume) is an interpretation of Alice's first dress and also the smaller costume is the interpretation of her smaller dress - both costume/dresses keep the similar Victorian style to them. Also the colours that Jas has said she was to use were: blue and green hues for the background and black and white or grey for the costumes, which still goes with the darkness/mysterious setting.


Hope you enjoyed!
