- Personally, I think my film opening is suggesting that mental illness is developed at a young age.
- It reinforces the representation of teenagers always having really dramatic issues because this is the problematic stage of
their lives.
- It also suggests that some teenagers are outcasts in the sense that they never fit in, they are constantly excluded from
groups and are looked down on by others.
- My film opening suggests that males are more likely to suffer from mental illness.
– This therefore singles them out in the same way as mental illness sufferers.
- Reinforces the representation of males as people who always keep their thoughts and feelings to themselves. – Link into the mind.
- Reinforces the representation of males being immature in comparison to females.
-The fact that I have chosen to use a male as the victim challenges the forms and conventions of psychological thrillers.

- It could also suggest that people only believe in God when they are in need of help.
- I also feel that with my film opening being about mental illness but I’ve included a reference to religion that it could
also suggest that religion can get into your mind and control you in the same way as a mental illness.
I have made the assumption
that.. mostly males will take an
interest in the film. This has
reflected in my work as I
decided to cast a male for the
role of the protagonist.
I have made the assumption that.. Mostly teenagers will be interesting in a film that covers this topic.
This has reflected in my work as the protagonist is 18, I felt that it was important that the protagonist wasn’t older than 18 as it would give the viewer a convincing and more genuine portrayal of someone of that age suffering from Schizophrenia.
