Within my piece I will be using mainly colour and lighting changes to show the user where to look within the space I am creating. I will be incorporating this into my story and using strange lighting and mysteriously lit up objects as a magical element to the piece to tie in with the Alice in Wonderland themed world. I will be using these effects on the objects on the table in scene 1 and on the mysterious objects down the paths in the 2nd and 3rd scenes in particular so that they know that they are going to be taken in that direction and that they will be moved towards the key objects.
When the scene changes to something more fantastical the colours within the world will skew and be different from the norm which will make the user want to look around the space to see all of the changes and the different things within the world. Colour will be important to make the user want to look around and explore the world and add some interest to the piece. Brighter colours to the objects on the table in front of the user will also help to make sure that they know where to look within the piece and the contrast between other items in the scene will make it really apparent that they are important aspects of the piece. The world between scenes 1 and 2 will change from normal expected colours to something more strange and weird such as having yellow grass, green surroundings and pink/red trees. This will create some distinction between the ‘real’ world and the fantastical wonderland world as part of the story progression of my piece. It is important in my eyes to have a clear distinction here so that the user is more aware of what is happening and is able to look at the world around them and instantly know that they have then been transported to a different version of the world, Wonderland.
For audio within the piece I think that I will add some mysterious music that I can find which will start as background music 30 seconds in once the 2nd scene is reached. I think that having strange and wonderful music playing in the background once you get to Wonderland will add an interesting immersive effect to the piece and allow the user to really feel like they have been taken to a different world. I will be using royalty free music in my piece and searching for the perfect background music that I think fits the wonderful yet slightly eerie tone I am trying to put across to the viewer of the piece.
