Our genre is a fantasy, there are many fantasy films available to watch such as Harry Potter and Twilight. There are two main films that have really inspired our four minute film. The first one is Alice in Wonderland written by Lewis Carroll in 1865. There have been many different versions made of this the first one being in 1903, over 100 years ago. This was a silent film. And the most recent being 2010, directed by Tim Burton, who has also created many other fantasy films such as "A series of unfortunate events," "Edward Scissor hands," and " A series of unfortunate events" as well as many other famous films.
Alice in Wonderland is the Story of a little girl who falls down a rabbit hole and discovers a fantasy land filled with strange animals and people. Before Alice can enter the fantasy land she has to shrink. Much like our film, when the character shrinks and falls down the sofa into an almost "surreal world." Alice shrinks by drinking a magical potion, where as our character shrinks by pulling a Christmas cracker by herself, but its still the same concept. Alice in wonderland is a very popular film and appreciated by adults as well as children.
Another film that has inspired us is "Honey I shrunk the Kids" directed by Joe Johnston in 1989.
This film is a fantasy/comedy and is all about a professor who's experiment goes horribly wrong, he manages to shrink the kids to 1/4 of an inch hes does this by using his electromagnetic shrink ray. When you see the children at that tiny size it is made very believable as they are so tiny everything else is massive, for example they get lost in the grass and the set is very well done because there are lots of bits and bobs found in the grass, such as monster insects, and old coins. In our film we want to create a similar effect.
