Screen Writer Linda Woolverton
Director Tim burton
March 5, 2010 The Scene
Scene Design
Throughout the whole movie the scenes keep changing going from a reality to something what seems like a dream. The scenes are over the top and amazing and fit the film 100 percent of the time.
Lighting Design
Alice is transitioning from the dark forest to the bright but destroyed looking tea party as the two settings are a mix of contrast. At the same time the characters are contrasted to their surroundings as they are much brighter than their environment. The clashing of light and dark colors show that the creatures of Wonderland are at war.
Sound Design
The sound not only help move the story and convey the emotion everyone is looking for, but also to help give that Tim Burton feel. I feel like he wants his films to fit within the overall context of pop culture and film in general. This movie really try to keep a realism and timeless funkiness to the sound and resist the temptation to create sounds or design scenes to be too over the top or distracting.
Costume Design
The costume designer relied on extensive hair and makeup. I love the volume and drama in all of the costumes featured in the movie. I actually didn't mind Alice shrinking into a size of a pea and magnifying into a giant because her dresses would change into something beautiful every time it happened. I'm a sucker for drama, colors, and volume. So of course my favorite was the costume design of Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter's costume was hauntingly beautiful, despite the tears and holes that gave off a creepy but delicate look.
The Camera
1. Long/medium/close-ups
Alice and Wonderland is a movie with many different camera shots. This film is shot in more of a wider viewing. With some minor close ups throughout the movie 2. Camera angle
The visual effects are stunning, especially in 3D. When hurtling down the hole, the camera
