My first initial idea was focused on the white rabbits house.The scene where Alice drinks the posion and finds her growing so big she gets stuck in the house.I wanted to create the illusion of feeling really big,or really small.
I started to create a house,more like a doll house to make you feel like you are a giant and stuck in a normal sized when you sit in it.I haven't specifically thought of making the house exactly like the house in the film i have made it my own.I used cardboard,to make the structure stronger i paper mashed it.
I added the door by cutting it out in the cardboard and using string threading through holes in the door and the 'wall' of the house so it can open and close.Mixing sand and glue together i thought it would make a good effect if layered it all over for the wall to make it look more realistic.Whilst it was still quite wet i carved with a plastic knife some bricks into the sand and glue so when it dries it looks more like a brick wall.
After working on the house after a while and trying different things,figuring out how to do it.I decided to do a maquette to help me think about what i need to do and for more practice.Using just cardboard then decided to use the sand and glue technique for the roof of the maquette and cut bricks in to it but it was difficult as i couldnt do it when it was damp or when it had set.
I then went back to my House and made archers using cardboard strips and covering it in the sand and glue for the affect and it also sticks to the house very easily.I will also creating window sills and paint it over.
POPPIN COOKIN !!
