INITIAL IDEAS

1st Idea

The idea of the main protagonist being in prison. Or potentially an insane asylum.

The idea that all of these people in her head being her friends are figures of her imagination. She used to watch Alice and Wonderland as a child and feels that she is Alice. The main story-line would be that of her explaining her feelings to a councilor. The ideas she has in her mind stem down to a deep mental illness which is incapable of treating. Or potentially, she may actually be Alice from Wonderland and she is telling the truth, although no one believes her as it is too hard to imagine to be true. With her being in prison, she committed the crime of attacking people for thinking they were characters from Wonderland. The basic idea is that there is a female, who is the main singer, she is in deep pain internally and mentally. The theme would be dark and sinister and maybe even violent.

2nd Idea

She is a teenage reject, she spends time reading books and being isolated. Not the stereotypical teenager she is shunned and taunted at school. However she has one friend who has no idea about her anger management issues and depression. She lashes out and her friend turns her back on her. The whole idea is that she attends a self help group and she feels 'sane' around them. Rather than being looked at by all of her school associates as being crazy for giving her best friend a black eye. She accepts who she is and eventually puts two fingers up to the people who bullied her (hypothetically speaking) and stays true to herself without conforming to the stereotypical girl in secondary school.

3rd Idea

Drug related.

The idea being that, she is totally addicted to drugs and cannot think straight anymore. Schizophrenic girl who takes drugs in order to be with her friends from wonderland. Alice and wonderland related from the things she sees when she is high on drugs. In the real world she is on her own and is seen as a loner (cloning techniques) . However when she is on drugs she feels accepted. This idea may prove valuable for special effects of being on drugs and may actually end up giving a positive message which is the dominant (Stuart Hall) to the main audience. My main audience being 16-29 year olds, drug awareness is invaluable. Also it will prove to be interesting with costumes and effects. 

Alice and Wonderland 

I watched Alice and Wonderland (1951) animation film. It has allowed me to come up with different ideas about what to include into my music video, such as the singing flowers, the Dodo bird, or the lizard chimney sweep.
