Pressure Project 1

For my pressure project, I chose to tell the story of Alice in Wonderland, using the Disney 1951 movie.

In doing this, my first inclination was to capture the atmosphere of Alice and Wonderland, since the story is notoriously nonsensical. I felt that capturing the feeling of being lost along with Alice’s struggles to get home in a world that makes no sense would evoke more compelling emotional reaction than trying to capture the plot of the movie.

Some things I struggled with were the software I used. I haven’t used GarageBand in about a decade, and there was a bit of a learning curve that ate up a chunk of time. In addition, I had to comb through the movie rather quickly as I hadn’t seen it beforehand, only ever read the original work.

I really liked the time limit of the sound piece, as it forced me to be more choosy in which audio clips I utilized. I had to cull quite a bit of the original iteration of this project, and I believe it turned out the better for it.

For my workflow, I just dropped the entire movie I found online and chopped it up until I got my desired result.
