Choosing a story

After thinking about what kind of story i wanted to use, i also had to think about copyright. I looked at local competitions that had short stories entered, but none of the stories i looked at really inspired me. Then after a talk with my housemate, she said how using fairy tales might be a good idea. I thought this had real potential so started looking at all the different fairy tales that were out there.


Wanted to not follow the obvious stories i steered away from red riding hood and goldilocks and the three bears as these have naturally sinister plots to them, and have finally decided on using alice in wonderland.


Looking into the story, i also discovered it is now out of copyright as the author has been dead for so many years, which means i can use it without having to ask for consent from anyone.


Now i have chosen a story, i will look at finding certain line and section sot focus on and create pieces from. I will also look into where fairy tales have been used before in photography and video, and how the desired effect ha been created.
