"Pyschosis" - a severe mental disorder in which
thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external
reality.
In my video I am keen to explore the break between
reality and fantasy, as our protagonist is unable to function in reality (the
home/school scenes) so she escapes to a fantasy she creates (forest
scenes).
Originally I was going to explore Multiple Personality
Disorder
"Multiple Personality Disorder" - characterized by
the appearance of at least two distinct and relatively enduring identities or
dissociated personality states that alternately control a person's behaviour.
To explore this I was going to have our character change
costumes depending on which personality she is, because it's a music video it
would've been hard to portray the change without any verbal speech. However we decided against this idea, as we felt it wasn't
an accurate representation of this particular mental illness and might make it
seem a little 'cheesy'. Instead, I decided to represent is through colour symbolism.
