ALICE IN WONDERLAND

As I am focusing on the classic children's story 'Alice In Wonder Land' I started my research by watching the film and outlining specific points of interest that could be represented on the skateboard. When choosing these points of interest I looked for defining moments in the film as well as points that I found inspiring as a designer.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND FILM - SECONDARY RESEARCH

DEFINITIVE MOMENTS;

Below are the definitive moments that I found inspirational and/or interesting while watching the film. As the program progressed certain memories from when I was young were triggered enabling me to remember watching specific parts as a child. With regards to the outlined concept, the parts of the film that I could specifically remember watching as a child hold the most relevance as they were responsible for a lot of childhood inspiration.

FALLING DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE

The definitive scene where Alice falls down the rabbit hole is at the very start of the film and gives her access to the magical world she enters.
