Mental Disorders
Mental Disorders
Initially, myself and my group where very interested in creating a psychological opening, it seemed very interesting and we could exploit this genre to create something innovative, possibly using mind games and tools in media to trick the our particular audience.
We then began to research what types of films, narratives and subjects this audience most likely wanted to see so that we could start developing a narrative of our own and move onto production of our media text.
We further concluded films which represent mental disorders were popular with this audience with such films as “Seven”. Many of these films show the condition, the effect of the symptoms and either a disintegration or relief of the mental disorder itself.
Next, we researched particular mental disorders shown in this thriller genre:
o Multiple-personality disorder
o Schizophrenia
o Bipolar
o Anorexia Nervosa
o Dementia
o Alzheimer’s
o and more...
It would not be possible to accurately represent these conditions without analysing them in detail. The most favourable option emerged as Schizophrenia, due to its suspicion around the condition as it is not often shown in society and respected as a temperamental and taunting condition; which can make the most basic tasks in life extremely difficult.
Myself as producer suggested we should look at particular cases of people with the condition through both recovery and experience of the condition and possible death. The website featured below was particularly helpful in showing us how to represent the condition of schizophrenia.
YouTube was also very resourceful for gaining knowledge about the condition and understanding how society sees the condition.
To conclude our subject-genre research we gathered some important facts to know about schizophrenia in regards to our opening sequence:
o
- Hallucinations can be very random and very traumatizing for the person who experiences them.
- Not every person who has the condition experiences the same symtoms.
- Society now has a new perspective on the disorder and it has now begun to be accepted.
- We can experiment and explore with media effects to present the symtoms of hallucinations which will produce alot of enigma as it is not what is expected yet then this will still link in with the genre.

Question 2
In most thriller films female characters are always portrayed as nice looking and very attractive. We have decided to do the same by choosing an attractive and young looking girl. It’s common to use white girls in most thriller films, so we decided to be different by choosing a female character that isn’t white. We wanted something other than white. It’s very rare to see other ethnicities in such films and mostly white girls are used. I have used two pictures as shown above to identify differences and similarities. The first picture on the top left is a picture that was taken using print-screen-shot on the computer while I was playing the video. The video itself is in black and white. The picture next to it on the top right is a picture of a young model for a handbag magazine called “Warmth.”
The similarities of these two female characters is that they are both are teenagers and they are both good looking. They are both tall and slim looking. They are both carrying a handbag which is a symbol for female characters. Their body posture is very similar as well, this makes them look tall. They are both dressed casually meaning its every day clothing. We decided to make our main character dress like this as we wanted the target audience to relate to her. We wanted people from the age of 15 to 25 to be able to relate to her. She is supposed to represent a student. They both look like students as they are both dressed casually and are both carrying a handbag. They are both wearing blue but we are not able to see that on the video as it is in black and white.
There are also some differences too. As we can clearly see the female on the right seems a bit older (about 18-23 years old) whereas our main character o the left seems to be younger (15-18 years old.) Our character has dressed so that we know what the weather condition is like. The white girl is wearing high heels and it seems like she is in a warm environment. Our character is wearing boots with jeans. The white girl is wearing a short skirt. The female character from the magazine on the right looks like the typical female victim used in most thriller films. They don’t appear as victims only but also as protagonists.
Both girls are in totally different locations. Our girl is in a rural area based on what we can see from the screen shot whereas the other white girl is in a more urbanised area. Our character has black hair and it’s fairly short. The girl from the magazine has got brown hair which is a bit longer. They have both tied their hair up which is a similarity. The character in our film is not permanently going to be dressed in the costumes we see above on the picture. This may change as we see more of the film. Overall both characters are portrayed in a stereotypical way. We can expect young teenagers to dress like that and there is nothing extreme or unclear about their appearances.

Learning from preliminary exercise to make 'Wraith'
I made a video to explain what (I think) I've learnt by making my thriller opening sequence. In this video, I talk about the experience obtained through the preliminary exercise and how much of those skills I've used for the main project. This video is a part of my evaluation coursework where I reflect on my and my group's performance (in camera work, sound fx, mise-en-scene, editing and using websites as well as softwares)
* insert 'subgenre' at the end of the sentence from 03:36 till 03:42, I happened to 'lose' or 'cut' some words while exporting/compressing the video. I've mentioned that in the annotation.

Lighting and microphone workshop
Before we started filming for our project, we had a workshop on lights where we were shown 3*lighting is set up and what it is used for. The Three Point Lighting technique is a (professional and standard) method used in visual media such as video, film, still photography and computer-generated imagery. It uses three lights called key light, fill light and back light.
The big lights are called ‘Redhead’ and the small one is called ‘Lilliput’. The flaps covering the bulb are known as ‘barn doors’.
The key light is the main light as it is the strongest and has the most influence on the look of the scene. Fill light is the secondary light and it is kept on the opposite side of the key light. It is mostly used to fill the shadows created by the key light. These two are the direct lighting in the technique unlike back light that is placed behind the subject. Its purpose is to provide definition and subtle highlights around the subject’s outlines which helps separate the subject from the background and provide a three-dimensional look.
We set up the three lights on the tripods as shown in the paper which I (have to admit) was quite scared to touch as they were quite big and expensive. We tried different colour gels for the cameras (which are the thin sheets of polyester or polycarbonate), to get different effects that enhance the mood in photographs. Colour gels have the tendency to melt if kept in heat for a long time which might possibly result in fire so we had to be really careful while using them.
(My group had decided to film everything outdoors so the studio lights weren’t necessary for this project.)
We were also told about microphones and headphones, for example, mono mic (puffy mic) which has the windjammer to block out unwanted noise and the usage of ‘fish pole’ to record interviews and such without showing the microphone. We are to use the headphones while recording sound (interviews) so that we can change settings while filming: some things can be quite difficult to edit later in the post- production stage.

Production Company and Film Distribution
'Wraith' representing social groups
Perhaps the cliché of thriller movies (or any movies, in fact) is the portrayal of slim and sexy/ beautiful white ‘girly, girl’ figures as the protagonists. They are often seen sporting skirts and figure hugging clothes to show off their curves and skin; most of the time they’re in (high) heels. We chose to make our thriller atypical in that sense. In place of a white girl/woman, we selected a black teenager as our protagonist. We thought there are very few films that have Blacks or Asians or Muslims as their main characters and we wanted to add our film to one of those ‘few’ films. We have, however, selected an attractive female figure like most of the movies.
Though they are both teenagers, the costumes of Dakota Fanning in ‘Push’ (left) and our actress is Lorraine (right) are totally different. Fanning’s clothes look very much girly but Lorraine’s doesn’t. We decided our actress was to wear simple, casual (modern) clothes and comfortable shoes (converse). Thus our protagonists doesn’t quite appeal as a ‘sexy, seductive’ actress but rather as a ‘simple teenager’ who we hoped would make our (female) audience identify themselves with her (we are focusing on mostly the students: age range, 15 to 26). Their hairstyles are also very different: while Fanning has her wavy blond hair (highlighted with pink) loose, Lorraine has her straight black hair tied into a bun. I prefer to believe hairs also say something about personality or say, a person’s taste at least for that moment so in this case, Fanning can be thought of as carefree, relaxed and sort of hippie-ish. Lorraine on the other hand has taken time to carefully do her hair (straighten and tied) and prefers a bit of control maybe- tight bun.
Like Fanning, Lorraine is also using a sidebag but whereas Fanning’s bag looks small and fancy, Lorraine’s can be classified as big and bulky-probably loaded with books. It can also be noted that both the girls are wearing comfortable (heel-less) shoes. Though there are some similarities and some differences in these two photos (and it is quite possible that the characters change their hairstyles and their costumes later in the movie), we have shown our actress represents a ‘normal’ young Black Londoner with no physical disability. Though she acts in a self-conscious and delusional way in the first few minutes of the movie (related to ‘schizophrenia’, she will later portray herself as an independent, intelligent female- unlike the common schema of ‘passive and weak females'. With some atypical elements, the movie or say, the opening title seeks to challenge the stereotypical view of good and pretty actresses.

BBFC Age Certificate
Here is what I summarised (and printscreened) what I found out about BBFC and what age certificates depend on:
As a director, I'll be aiming to get my film classified as suitable for 15.
'Wraith' following conventions of Thriller genre
Here is my presentation that answers whether or not our media product follows codes and conventions of the 'Thriller' genre:
Audience for my media product
Natalie Amy, an AS student, is 17 years old and lives in Harrow Weald. She enjoys shopping, swimming and going out to restaurants. New Look, H&M are the two main highstreet brands she goes to but she is no stranger to boutiques around London. Natalie is quite fashionable and though she also wears casual clothes: jeans and hoodies, she prefers girly clothes through which she can boldly express her femininity. She likes spending time in (nature) parks, comedy clubs and her friends’ houses and she loves being with animals in the animal sanctuary where she works.
Though she watches movies from different categories, Natalie considers the horror genre her favourite. She mentioned Chainsaw Massacre, The Hole, One Missed Call, The Hostel trilogy and SAW series when asked to name a few movies she enjoyed. She usually watched them at home with her friends but she also likes going for cinema. Her favourite TV channels are e4, Channel 4 and More 4 where she watches Come Dine With Me, The Inbetweeners and Vampire Diaries.
She listens to a wide variety of songs- from acoustic, hard rock, pop rock to club/dub-step. But her ultimate favourite ones ‘depending on her mood’ are John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band, everything - it ranges from acoustic, hard rock, pop rock to club/dub-step but my ultimate favorite things to listen to (depending on my mood) are John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band, Color + City, Taylor swift, and evanescence Color and City, Taylor Swift and Evanescence.
I think our film would appeal to girls like her because, though it won’t necessarily have blood and gore (horror), Wraith is/will be packed with suspense and enigma. I showed her our opening sequence and asked her what she thought. Here is the screen grab from the Facebook interview about what she said.

Production Diary
1st Feb, Tuesday
Our first day of filming and we were a bit nervous about things going wrong. We took all the equipments required (DV tape, tripod and the video camera) and left college at around half 10 to get to Greenford. When we got to our actress, Lorraine’s house, we were somewhat disappointed to see that she wasn’t ready. After waiting for about 15 minutes or so (we weren’t bored though: we were watching MTV as we waited! But we realized how important it is to be punctual at least when people are expecting something from you), we left to get to our first filming location which was a minute walk from there.
We spent about 30 minutes filming Lorraine in the pathway that leads to the graveyard. Sometimes, we had to wait as there were other pedestrians walking that way and we didn’t want them in our footage. We took extra shots just so that we’d have more footage if we changed our minds while editing. After this, we went to the graveyard and there, we saw a Victorian style carriage and horses which meant: a funeral was about to take place. We thought we might need to reschedule the ‘graveyard shot’ but fortunately, the funeral attendees went inside the church for the ceremony which is when we filmed near the gravestones. We filmed more things than we’d initially planned which seemed to be a good idea because it is always better to have more footage as we’ve been told.
Instead of using the pedestrian crossing shown in the Recce, we decided to use the road near the graveyard and we somewhat changed the plot: Grace (Lorraine) runs away from the scene instead of walking away calmly. It was around quarter to two by the time we packed up and we planned to continue filming on Thursday. Vithujan and I took the equipments back to college while Paris went back with Lorraine.
3rd Feb, Thursday
This time, we met in Harrow Bus Station and from there we took the bus(es) to Lorraine’s house and then to the Greenford High Street. All the equipments had been brought by Vithujan, the cameraperson. We went to the café in Greenford that had agreed to let us film and were disappointed to find that the owner had changed his mind. We went to three other cafes nearby and got refused- one said we’d need to pay them. So we took a bus and went further down the road and went to a Carribean restaurant-café-like place- the lady there kindly agreed and even provided a free cup of tea (our prop) – we still gave her some money as a ‘tip’ when she wasn’t willing to take it!
We were planning to take a few more shots (e.g. bus scenes) if there was more time but because of refusals from all those cafes, that wasn’t likely. At half 2, Lorraine helped Paris take the equipments to her house and we decided to meet at Paris’s or Lorraine’s house on Saturday which we were to confirm via text.
5th Feb, Saturday
We were aiming to finish all the filming by this day! Vithujan and I met Lorraine and Paris in Greenford (- Paris had brought the equipments with her). Then the four of us took Bus Number 92 to Ealing hospital where we filmed the ‘upper-deck’ bus scene. Later we went to Paris’s house and filmed the bits where Lorraine is shown writing on her notebook and later tearing into pieces. We finished filming at around 1. Satisfied with what we’d done in those three days, Vithujan and I went back home leaving the cameras in Paris’s house because she’d agreed on taking them back on Monday.
Though relieved with the filming coming to an end, we were all worried about post-production work where ‘all the magic happens’ or in other words: the tough job!
Tape-Log
We did 'logging' before we started capturing our footage. Logging is basically a written record of all the shots on the DV tape and it tells us which bits we are to capture and why the rest are ignored. It is a way of saving time in the editing suite.
4 March 2011
Editing
When we initially started the project, we had Dhruv with us who was allocated the role of the editor. He had done quite a lot of editing and was actually a freelance editor. Unfortunately due to health reasons, he had to drop out of the course. I had done BTEC Level 2 in Media last year and I could use the editing software so I agreed to be the executive editor.
Final Cut Pro, a professional software programme, made by the Apple Inc. software is used in non-linear editing. Final Cut Pro logs and captures video on a hard drive from where it can be edited and processed. Non-linear editing is an advanced editing method that involves accessing any frame or shot in a digital video clip easily. It is similar to the ‘cut and paste’ method that we are so used to while working on a word document: we can cut and paste the videos wherever we want. After logging, the video tape (footage) is loaded onto a DV tape player from where the shots are imported (captured) on the computer. We can then start editing the footage. (The DV tape player is a firewire-a connection that allows exchanging data very fast.)
On the software, we’ve got a timeline where the visual and audio tracks are kept; sound is kept in an audio wave form (a pictorial representation of music). With a timeline we can see how long the chosen clips are; hence the word ‘time’line. The timeline in Final Cut Pro allows 99 video tracks to be layered on top of each other. The audio wave form helps to know the ups and downs in the song and therefore it’s very helpful to keep the video clips according to the musical beat which is also known as ‘cut to the beat’. The word ‘bin’ in this software denotes the space where the visual or audio tracks: footages are kept.
As this software has ‘cut and paste’ functions, we can do it for various visual clips with the use of Shortcut keys. ‘I’ key when pressed while the clip is running acts as a start or ‘in point’ and the ‘O’ key is the end button or the ‘out key’. So when we use those keys, we get a short clip from the original one which can be dragged to the timeline to go along with the soundtrack and this is done with respect to the musical beat. Other keys are: ‘J’ to rewind, ‘K’ to stop and ‘L’ to play and forward. To simplify this process, we have a ‘playhead’ which can be dragged to the left and right side of the clip and we can see the clip in a fast pace; the clip going quickly is called scrubbing. The spacebar is used to play and pause the video and the backspace is the delete button. For this software, it is beneficial if the user can use the mouse and the keyboard combined.
On the screen, we’ve got a tool bar at the bottom tight side where there are tools like magnifier to magnify the clips. There is a razor tool to cut the clips. On the canvas screen, we can watch the clip we made or are making, by copying and pasting the visual clips, along with the music whereas in the viewer screen we watch the original visual clip where we can use the ‘I’ and ‘O’ key to choose the part in the videos. The ‘roll tool’ in the tool bar helps to change a particular clip without altering other clips. The lock symbols on the left side of each track are called ‘locking tracks’ which are pressed to secure the item in that track so as not to mess it up.
Before ‘Capturing’ , I created a new folder in ‘Scratch’ disk>Sam>AS Media and named it ‘VithujanParisMizla Thriller’. To capture the footage, I clicked on ‘File>Log & Capture’ (Shortcut keys= Cmd-8) after which we can view the visual on the computer screen. Before starting the ‘log and capture’, we are supposed to select the file where we want to keep all our footage. Hence, we need to click on ‘Preview>Capture Settings>Scratch Disk-Set’ and select the folder we made. This saves the project and all the footages in our folder while capturing. To select the footage, I clicked on ‘Now’ at the bottom of the video screen and ‘Esc’ to stop the capturing. I named each captured clip/footage according to what I’d written on my Tape Log Sheet.
Final cut pro has 150 effects available, for example, Glow, Light Rays, Outer Glow, Desaturate etc. There are video transitions like Cross Dissolve, Additive Dissolve and it also has audio transitions and audio filters such as keying tools, mattes and vocal de-poppers and de-essers. We learnt how to ‘close the gaps’ between the footages in the time-line and how to change the volume in a certain part of the same clip by using the ‘razor tool’ and altering the red line in the audio track. For this we used the Toggle Clip Overlays button which brought the volume line in the track. We used effects like Cross Fade (0db) in the audio transition for a smoother flow of the sound.
We were also introduced to Master Templates and told about PAL and NTSC: we are meant to use PAL because the other one is used by US Television Companies. But we decided to use Adobe AfterEffect and just the plain texts to make our titles.
Though I had used this software a few times to edit my BTEC projects, I still learnt a few new things and got a chance to refresh old memories. I helped Paris and Vithujan to understand the software and answered the questions they asked. Although, I was in charge of the post-production work, we three, as a group, decided what footage to use and where they belong and so on.
Storyboarding
This is the storyboard we made before we started our filming. After scanning them on the computer, I've decided to use felt-tip pen or something if they are to be scanned.
Risk Assessment
After writing the Recce, I prepared a Risk Assessment Form for our shoot. The forn contains the essential understanding of any Heath and Safety issues that are associated with the locations during the filming process. It is helpful to identify possible risks and prepare appropriate notes to guard against those misfortunes.
We didn't have to worry about bathroom, changing room and
refreshment facilities because (as mentioned in the Recce),
we were filming very near Lorraine (our actress) and Paris's
(the Producer) houses.
17 February 2011
This is a timetable i made for myself and my team members i also thought it would be a good idea to privide the actress with one so that she knew in confidence where we were filming and at what times.
I also wanted to have structure whilst we were filming because i understood that if we didnt we could face many different teamworking problems which would ultimately ruin the quality of our title sequence ; such as bad punctuality, miss coordination and complete unconscienceness to the task at hand.
10 February 2011
Recce
After deciding our final idea and planning what we want to show in the opening sequence, we three met on a Sunday to look at the places Paris had on her mind- her neighbourhood in Greenford. We first looked at the path near a community school and thought we can start the sequence from that location where our character Grace is shown walking.
This paths lead to a church and we decided to include some ‘graveyard scenes’ in our production because they are associated with horror, creepiness and silence. It’d also seem a bit enigmatic as we see Grace walking into the graveyard for no apparent reason and then come running out looking very scared.
Lorraine who had agreed to be ‘Grace’ lived very near the church and we didn’t have to worry about anything like where to use the bathrooms, change outfits (not that we wanted different clothing), place to stay and keep the equipments if it started raining and so on.
We wanted some scenes at a cafe/restaurant where Grace is seen writing in her notebook with untouched/hardly touched food or coffee on the table. We asked the cafes in Greenford whether they’d allow us to film for a little while later in the week. One of them agreed and we were told to come after 3 on Tuesday or Thursday which is when we’d planned on doing filming.
We wanted a place to show Grace crossing the road and chose this place which is near the school. It was Sunday and all was very quiet. It seemed likely that there would be school children and other people on the day we film so we’d chose the road in front of the church as an alternative.
We choose an empty bus (Upper deck backseats) as one other place to film and finally Paris’s living room where Grace is seen writing and then tearing her notebook.
We have altogether chosen 6 locations and we’d be all set to start filming once I finish making the storyboard.
9 February 2011
This is the brief i gave to our actress Lorraine Mabiza (Grace) morning of our first shoot. It includes the original synopsis of our thriller so that she knew what type of chracter we were trying to create, though specialising in costume in makeup and extra information which would in aid her for the day of the shoot.
8 February 2011
Interviews carried out to choose thriller genre and form ideas
Interview 1
1) What do you expect to get from thriller movies?
Personally, I’d want to see something surreal, out of the norm. For instance, maybe an event which wouldn’t happen in reality, but will play with your mind to convince you that it can have a possibility of happening. For example, ‘Harry Potter’ is an innovative movie with features expressed to the viewers in a way to make them feel involved and long for this type of world to exist; as fantasy being a characteristic which enthrals any type of audience.
2) What is that one thing that you believe a Thriller movie MUST have?
I think a thriller should have originality, because if there is a lack of authenticity, and then the film itself, would lose value. Viewers need to be engaged in the storyline, and I believe if it surpasses their expectations, then the movie will not be able to meet its goals. For example every minor detail would need to be taken care of, as there has to be an element of general meaning to anything within the production.
3) Should a thriller be resolved in the end or should it have a cliff hanger? And why?
Although I have a guilty pleasure for thriller movies, even if I know how much it psychologically affects me, I would prefer to have a resolution to the problem, just to ease my mind and put it at rest. However, depending on certain situations, for example if a film was to inevitably end tragically, on a personal level, I would rather have it cliff-hang, just to avoid visually experiencing the misfortune.
4) What is a ‘cliché’ type of Thriller movie and would you have preferred anything different?
I personally believe films which involve psychos as the villains are slightly cliché; however I’m not undermining this, as there is a film which uses this technique, which is the movie, A Nightmare on Elm Street. The storyline is also a big factor in distinguishing a typical movie to a unique movie. Considering this, I haven’t seen a thriller which I was disappointed in yet, as every varying detail is intriguing to me so far, which has definitely left me inspired.
5) If you were to make one yourself, what would your Thriller movie be about?
As I am frightened of horror based thrillers, such thrillers as adventures are more appealing to me. If I was to relate to a specific film, it definitely would be such successful series books like Harry Potter and Twilight, which is more fascinating to broader/wider audience bases; therefore I would see myself utilising special techniques form those types of films, and maybe look deeper into certain books.
Interview 2
1) What do you expect to get from thriller movies?
I’d say a fictional story line with a touch of adventure. I would like to see lots of suspense, bumps, action and horror.
2) What is that one thing that you believe a Thriller movie MUST have?
Action! (By this, I mean stunts!)
3) Should a thriller be resolved in the end or should it have a cliff hanger? And why?
Definitely should be solved at the end, I hate waiting for part two-s! (joke) But seriously speaking, sequels keep the audience waiting for the answer in their next part. Resolving the enigma makes things less complicated and lives you satisfied!
4) What is a ‘cliché’ type of Thriller movie and would you have preferred anything different?
Somethin related to blood, ghosts or exorcism. Although that's the theme of thriller, I'd prefer something that's not so ‘mind-creeping’ and ‘spooky’- that way, I don’t have to be afraid about hitting the bed! Hmm... Perhaps adding a bit of musical to it would keep the brain absorbed and flattered?
5) If you were to make one yourself, what would your Thriller movie be about?
Maybe the cliché's stated above but with more action and a lot more of a MUSICAL THRILLER =D
When you say musical, do you mean actors singing proper songs in the movie?
Errr... nah. That wouldn’t do! What was I thinking? That’d be like a bollywood movie-sh! Haha- us, Indians need songs in everything lol! But a bit of music, songs to lighten the mood.
