Subject matter - P H O T O G R A P H Y

 Here I set up a selection of a tea set with an old pocket watch in various positions.

The tea set clearly represents the tea-party in the book/story and the pocket watch an item belonging to the rabbit in the waste coat. 

 Throughout the story book there is alot of nature shown such as insects and butterfly's which are related with the caterpillar in the film ' Absolem'. I also took images of roses shown here and below which is to represent the white roses which are painted red at the queen of hearts castle, and in the 2010 Tim burton film at Alice's engagement party. I also captured a close up of my cat Marley which represents the Cheshire cat and a clock which represents time ' I'm late, oh so very late'. 

Here I took an image of the bunting in my bedroom. which is associated with the tea party along with the teabags. I especially went out and purchased Jammie Dodgers to take pictures of them in order to represent the queen of hearts tarts, and finally captured vapor smoke. (the caterpillars hookah/shisha - air).

Playing cards are iconic to Alice In wonderland, So I took pictures of them at various different angles.

 Again I set up and took more images of the tea set and the old pocket watch at various different angles. 

 The reason I took pictures of these colourful paperweights is because they reminded me of the different types of mushroom tops and flowers/wildlife in the books and films.

Again the tea party scene is a important and well known scene in the book and film of Alice and wonderland, so here I set up some silverware and captured it using Marco to get a crisp and clear focus on the image. In order to get the shadowing and better light I held a light and angled it on the spoons.

Proposition

Atmospheric prospective

Here is my atmospheric prospective drawing of the tea party, starting off with dark pencil tones on the chair and getting to medium and light pencil tones towards the end of the table. What I like about this drawing is how it leads the eye from the dark tones to the light tones giving it a 'sense' of a narrow depth of field.

By reviewing some of the Alice In wonderland films, this will inspire me and which will help when re-creating the novel (Book Cover) of Alice's adventures in my own style.
