Our group pitched our idea to our teachers on Friday 12 December 2014 so that they could here our plot and tell us if it was suitable a whether they thought anything needed to be changed. In our pitch we told them important information such as; target audience, tag line and film length. We also showed them our story board, giving them an idea of how our opening would be structured.
During the feedback our teachers told us that they had some concern about the way in which we were incorporating mental health and wanted to make sure that we had considered the stigma surrounding it. However we had already discussed how we could use a character who was mentally ill without portraying them in a completely negative way. We decided that although our opening suggest the patient is the antagonist, later in the film (if we were making the rest of it) the audience learns that when she enters the mental hospital, Chloe is suffering from Bipolar and schizophrenia. However, the hospital is not your average unit and inside of it Chloe becomes corrupt from her 'medical treatment' and the Chief of Medicine at the hospital becomes the antagonist.
Here are some sites I used when researching mental health disorders:
Mental Health Foundation- bipolar
Mental Health Foundation - Schizophrenia
