Redesign of the set of ''Alice in Wonderland - Eat me, Drink me'' in the style of ''Alien''


Final Set Design 


This is my final redesigned set design of ''Alice and Wonderland - Eat me, Drink me" scene in the style of  ''Alien'' that I drew, as you can see it is altered from my plan , but I used certain aspects from my plan to create the final piece which improved my set design overall.

Costume





As you can see , I removed the charecters costumes from the original ''Alice and wonderland'' and exchanged them with a much more darker feel to them and designed them like ''giger'' does to give off the effect and style of ''Alien''. All the claws and alien heads on the costumes gives a scarier effect to the charecters involved which also made my set as a whole have an ''Alien'' style. The costume on the charecter normally portrays the charecters personality and emotions, so to take a good, childish charecter like Alice and then associate her with dark, scary creatures like ''Alien'' was very interesting.

Props


To create an ''Alien'' style effect on the props in the scene ''Eat me, Drink me'' I changed the colour of the liquid inside the bottle with a black substance which could represent alien venom and the darkness of the substance can refer to evil and death , so by doing this it created a much more ''Alien'' styled feel to my set. Also I drew a liquid substance dripping from the food , this could represent blood with refers to danger an thriller which gave the effect of ''Alien''.  

Lighting and Scenery 


With the lighting , you can see in my plan I visualized it very dark with a hint of dark blue which is different from the original lighting from the scene ''Eat me, Drink me'' as its much more bright whereas mine is ''Alien'' styled. I chose dark colours to associate it with ''Alien'' and give a different feel to the set as a whole but I specifically chose dark blue as it could represent an alien emerging from the darkness, this is also shown through the claws coming over the top of the set, and the chandeliers is placed inbetween the claws and is sepreating them both to show that light seperates the good from evil. The light from the chandeliers is also placed above the flooring in the original set of ''Eat me, Drink me'' , but to give off the same effect of seperating good from evil I kept Alice under the light as shes a good charecter , but to make it more like ''Alien'' I placed the claws (Evil) above Alice to show that evil is in control and over ruleing Alice (Good). Also the lighting from the chandeliers and the shadow of the emerging claws gives off a great ''Alien'' style to ''Alice and Wonderland''. The face to the right gives off a good ''Alien'' feel as it looks very mysterious and the lighting is fading it out which refers to death and darkness.

  1. Some great ideas here, consider how the set design and lighting changes both the genre and our expectations of what should happen in the narrative.
    Good effort.
