After watching Jan Svankmajer's "Alice", I was really keen to experiment with the way that things can be played with in surreal film-making. I wanted to re-create "Alice" in a different way, just like Svankmajer had with Lewis Carroll's "Alice in wonderland".
So after looking into more surreal films, I put the idea to the group of changing Alice into Audrey Hepburn. They thought it was good and so we added that part in. Emily then came up with the idea of a human rabbit. This conveyed "Alice" really well, so we put that part in too.
Overall, filming for this project went really well, and I think that we conveyed surrealism really well. I also enjoyed filming on location because it was really exciting to explore another place and allowed us to expand our ideas.
Being given two weeks to complete this project was really good because we were able to thoroughly plan our ideas, and this helped our piece to look more professional. It also allowed us to change parts that we didnt like, and still have enough time to come up with something to replace it.
The feedback we recieved from our showing was positive, and we realised that we acheived alot in making this surrealists version of "Alice" because the audience said that it was enjoyable yet confusing at the same time.
