Genre and Topic
By Laura Burgess
After much research, I have concluded that i want to make a drama based
on mental health and schizophrenia. This is a brain disorder that distorts
the way a person thinks, acts, expresses emotions, perceives reality and relates to others.
Short films tend to focus on key issues rather than an actual story. I also
want to use my own music instead of copyright tracks.
I wanted to highlight the issue of growing schizophrenia in teens and
young adults. People can have a very narrow opinion
of mental health disorders, just brushing the sufferers off as a
‘weirdo.’I want to combat that stereotypical view and show that sufferers are just
the same as everybody else, complex individuals.
I’m considering shooting a parallel storyline where the subject is filmed seeing or doing something but only hinting at which event was reality
and which was fantasy. I still have to make a poster and do a
review for the film, one of which needs to be finished and posted by
early next week.
