Experimental Audio; Planning

For the experimental audio, my partner Fatima and I firstly met up to brain storm ideas as well as think about equipment and schedules, discussing locations and ideas we had for the theme of sense of space. As a student who has experience with sound feels comfortable about audio editing, I had a clear idea of how we'd be able to edit the audio in post-production. We almost immediately came up with the theme Alice in Wonderland. After further research on the topic, we knew that it was an idea of which would allow us to be able to really experiment with a number of different sounds as well as explore an eerie and haunting ambience through different editing techniques and manipulation.

Alice in Wonderland has some very deep and dark themes and motifs as a story. To further research into this concept, we each went away to do our own research in order to come up with a number of different ideas and appraoches we can make towards not only the audio piece but also the tone and visuals we'd like to achieve for the experimental film. 

One website I found to be beneficial was this: http://www.alice-in-wonderland.net/ for general knowledge on the book, but more importantly http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/alice/themes.html discusses the themes, motifs and symbols apparent within the story; most of which are dark concepts involving childhood innocence, death and drugs.
