Following a white rabbit into a hole, Alice is taken to a magical universe where she is reunited with friends from her dreams. Later she finds out that she must defeat the Red Queen and put an end to her terror. She works together with her friends, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, and others with the help of the White Queen who happens to be the Red Queens sister. The screen still we see below is of Alice and the White Queen in her castle. I specifically chose this still because of how different it is color wise compared to the rest of the movie. It’s such a light range of colors giving a break from the darker more saturated colors we see in the rest of the film. There are some dark colors in the shadows. These are more grey blue toned and there isn’t a lot but it gives a nice contrast to the scene. We see some red and neutral tones drawing our eye into the center of the image. All the stuff sitting on the table allows for our eyes to rest. It still matches the scene well because they are more cool tones. Alice’s dress has red and pink being the only time we see these colors making them pop. The White Queen herself is in white, hence her name but also the room they are in. Everything is white and a cool light grey. We get the feeling of elegance and the goodness that lies with her, in contrast to her sister. Everything is very clean and pleasing to the eye.
