Change of Alice Idea - Development

After our tutorial - we realised how complicated our production will be if continued with the alice fall image as it will be too hard to build a set like that considering our budget of £200.

After looking at Gregory Crewdson's image - Boy with hand in drain

We came to an conclusion that this is what we should have out set similar to - in regards to Alice (nearly) falling into the hole. This now has meaning, ambiguity and sense of uniqueness compared to our original idea. I can now say I am looking forward to creating something in the style of Crewdson, whose work I very much admire as it shows dreams as our possible reality.

Alice - surface sketch!

By analysing the new sketch, we want to get an estimate of the width of the hole for the image and possible lighting coming underneath the surface up towards alice.

I have viewed the images in the 'Twilight' series last year but I wanted to have a look again to get another feel of them as I will be now creating my Alice in wonderland image in the style of one of the images in this book. 

-Crewdson wants his photographs to become one world upon its self

-mechanics of cinema, 60 people, actress's, makeup artists.
-very cinematic, highly composed making then unique
-2-3 days of preparation to shooting
-1 hour of shooting period always refining through this time
-collages in photoshop the different frames, taking the perfect parts of each image to create a perfect image.
-creating uncanny moments
-Twilight was the first shoot where Gregory Crewdson used cinematic lighting.
-tells story through light and colour.
-interested in the dark side and the psychotic

-What exists beneath the surface is exploded in his Twilight Images. 

-over 100 lights working on this picture

-wetting the road creates a shinny surface for the light to reflect off of.-wanted to feel conected to the private moment for the woman in the car.-builds a picture around his location.
