Location Analysis

Forest

We are using a forest because we think this is the perfect setting for the theme of the song. Becuase the song is about a 'wonderland' and a girl who wants freedom, we wanted to film alot of things outside becuase this accounts for that aspect. Also using a woods alowed us to create quite a magical atmosphere and having all the characters dressed up in pretty dresses in this location create the abstract feeling that we wanted.

Butterfly Medows

This location was perfect as the 'wonderland' as it is quite an abnormal place and we were able to get alot of good shots because of all the interesting things that we found there. There is a long dome like structure there made out of sticks which was perfect to use as it isnt something you would normally see and fits into the main characters fantasy perfectly.

Living Room

For the scene of Anna with her family, we wanted to use a very plain and very normal setting to contrast with all the other interesting and abnormal settings, showing the comparison between the real world and Anna's fantasy world that she makes up in order to escape to them. For this scene, we removed all the objects around the room which represented the very close minded family. This also drew attention to the one object in the background which was a picture of a woods. This represents the fact that the 'wonderland' is always in the back of Anna's mind and is always part of her.

Beach

We used a beach for the scene in which Anna is dreaming. We thought this was a good location to use as it fits the abstract qualities and events of the dream. The location is also very atmospheric and fits the eerie and unsettling feel of the dream.
