Alice In Wonderland Syndrome; Synopsis

Alice is stuck, paralysed in her own head. Her memories, her trauma, her wonderland, it haunts her and corrupts her mind until she falls into nothing. Her old "friends" are back, from her past, her old childhood to hopefully bring her back and save from the "hero's of her mind", but things are quite...peculiar. Its and old joyful scene and atmosphere, a tea party, and Hatter is there, so is Rabbit but its not the same, why? Her eternal fear and conflict is growing and is becoming more violent, present, she can't stay for more than 5 minutes or she she will become more bad, over powered, even finished. She wants to get better, she has too, its what the councillors say and want right? Or is it the opposite is it better to be crazy? Who benefits from her madness? Its her own narrative of her own madness and conflict its all in her destroyed head, or is it? Her own wonderland is destroyed, its over, broken. Not even the special cake or tea can make her grow or shrink in happiness or despair anymore. This horror and fantasy hybrid is the birth of her madness and her internal burning of her mind.

Connect

Connect is a 2010 ten minuet short film directed by Samuel Abrahams. The film revolves around a young woman fed up with the lack of empathy and emotion in the city and how heavily technology is relied on between human interactions. This is made clear as no one speaks int he short film and everyone is using some kind of electronic device. The woman is waiting for the bus in a dark crowded area and when the bus arrives everyone pushes past each other to get on it and  everyone tries to get a seat without thinking about anyone else so the woman is left to stand. The shots are quite quick and have many cuts to make it feel like we are living in this stimulated world where no one cares about anyone else. The woman puts her headphones on which is symbolic of her trying to escape reality. As the music gets louder we see the woman imagining things happen on the bus like a man pulling out a gun and shooting someone but then the music stops and we go back to reality. the same occurs when we see

Wasp is a 2003 26 minute short film written and directed by Andrea Arnold. It revolves around a struggling young woman with the ambition that she is going to get with Dave and her children will not get in her way.

La La Land Question Thingymabob

Discuss how important cinematography is in establishing strong responses from spectators to a key character in La La Land - must refer to a scene! In the scene "what could have been" We see the shot pan out on Seb and the lighting brightens and we see the background to be the restaurant from Mia and Sebs first encounter. The shot then cuts to a smiling Mia centre screen in the blue dress she originally wore in that scene making it clear that this is a flashback or Mia's imagination changing how they went about things for a happy ending. The fact that she is the only thing visible makes it easier for the audience to identify that this is replicating that scene which makes it easier for the passive audience members which a low budget in dependent film wouldn't. Then we see an over the shoulder shot where we see Mia observing what we have already seen when Seb loses his job but makes us feel more connected to Mia as both Mia and us the spectators are working out that t
