final treatment

aLice
aLice is a film that can capture a myriad of people due to the combination of chick-flick, action, fantasy and adventure. It tells the story of how a girl can defend herself from physical pain but how does she deal with emotional hurt?

• Title: What the title means and where the idea came from
1. aLice: We chose this title as it gives clues to the plot. Firstly beginning our main protagonists name but emphasizes on the letter L indicates it’s an anagram for another word. (Lacie)

• Character: all the character involved throughout the film, their relationship to each other, and the individual personas and appearance.

1. Alice: Being 18 years old and being rejected due to her social unawareness is one of the hardest thing to overcome for a teenage girl, being completely dismissed for her physical efforts towards fashion masks her secret talent towards designing and creating fashion. As though being rejected from the London school of fashion was not enough, she had a myriad of other problems to face. Her parents have always seen their daughter to be strong and tough but when she realised it for herself, this was the making of Lacie! Personality: intelligent, under confident, shy and quiet. Appearance: glasses, blazer, polo neck top, straight boring hair.

2. Lacie: (alter-ego) you would not believe she shares DNA with Alice, as they run completely opposite lifestyles in every aspect. Her problems suddenly don’t seem so bad; her new life ignores them until bigger ones appear, when she is faced with emotional pain that she so desperately tried to avoid, has found her and it is all down to her best friend. Personality: confident, fashionable, outgoing. Appearance: tight, revealing clothing, bouncy shiny hair and lots of make-up.
3. Duke: He is the captain of the football team and he is completely in love with himself. Everybody knows his name and wants to be his friend even Alice is madly in love with him, she has been for what seems like forever! Lacie on the other hand has suddenly caught his eye and took his mind of the pitch, but how does Alice feel with her new found self Lacie?

4. William: Ever since primary school, William and Alice has been best friends and shared everything, they have so much in common, both being social misfit they find themselves confiding in each other. Personality: envious, educated, shy. Appearance: typical geek, glasses and big curly.
5. Villian: when William turns into Alice/Lacies evil opponent, he appears to be presented as a Goth, the connotations of the colour black typically represents a sense of evil and danger. He uses the weapon of emotionally hurting Alice/Lacie because he is fully aware of her physical defence against pain
