Black is inspiring to us because there structure starts of with a disequilibrium because
it shows how breaking into a entertainment industry is difficult as you have to be
perfect at what your doing. The film stays a disequilibrium throughout the movie as
she kills herself without realising the black swan was her and so in our opening
sequence we are going to have disequilibrium throughout our opening sequence as
having schizophrenia never has a happy ending.

 Previously, our Theme was Drugs and our Concept was Hallucination.

 What Went Well
 • The idea was unique, no other previous opening sequences did this idea
 • It could connect with out audience
 • It created enigma, It has an interesting climaxing ending

 Even Better If
 • Quite an old drug, not used that much in this time
 • Sounds abit like a Thriller – alter things to change to a thriller
 • Theme and concept not quite right, needs changing


 • So… We changed a little from drugs back to mental illness again, so it can suit out
   new genre ‘psychological thriller’

 • We also wanted to relate to our audience while scaring them with that character at the
   same time

 • We canted the theme and concept to relate to the past of the character

            Effects of Schizophrenia
   • Relationship problems – Due to isolation and
     paranoia
   • Disruption to normal daily activities - due to the
     sufferer’s delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized
     thoughts
   • Alcohol and drug abuse - used to try to self-
     medicate or reduce symptoms.
   • Increased suicide risk – sufferers are highly likely to

                           Subtypes of schizophrenia

Schizophrenia: Disorganized Subtype

• This subtype’s predominant feature is disorganization of the thought
  processes.

• Hallucinations and delusions are less pronounced, although there may be
  some evidence of these symptoms.

• These people may have significant impairments in their ability to maintain
  the activities of daily living. Even the more routine tasks, such as dressing,
  bathing or brushing teeth, can be significantly impaired or lost.

• People diagnosed with this subtype also may have significant impairment in
  their ability to communicate effectively. At times, their speech can become
  virtually incomprehensible, due to disorganized thinking.

                           Subtypes of schizophrenia
Schizophrenia: Catatonic Subtype

• The predominant clinical features seen in the catatonic subtype involve
  disturbances in movement.

• Affected people may exhibit a dramatic reduction in activity, to the point that
  voluntary movement stops, as in catatonic stupor. Alternatively, activity can
  dramatically increase, a state known as catatonic excitement.

• They may maintain a pose in which someone places them, sometimes for
  extended periods of time.

• Affected people may voluntarily assume unusual body positions, or manifest
  unusual facial contortions or limb movements.

• Other symptoms associated with the catatonic subtype include an almost parrot-
  like repeating of what another person is saying or mimicking the movements of
  another person.

                         Subtypes of schizophrenia

Schizophrenia: Undifferentiated Subtype

• The undifferentiated subtype is diagnosed when people
  have symptoms of schizophrenia that are not necessarily formed
  or specific enough to make a classification into another subtype

• The symptoms of any one person can alter at different points in
  time, resulting in uncertainty to the correct subtype arrangement.

• Other people will display symptoms that are remarkably stable
  over time but still may not fit one of the typical subtype pictures.

                            Subtypes of schizophrenia

Schizophrenia: Residual Subtype

• This subtype is diagnosed when the patient no longer displays noticeable
  symptoms.

• In such cases, the schizophrenic symptoms generally have lessened.

• Hallucinations, delusions or characteristic behaviours may still be present

• Some people require secure care in state institutions, while others are employed
  and can maintain an active family life.

• In general, better outcomes are associated with brief episodes of symptoms
  worsening followed by a return to normal functioning.

Schizophrenia: Paranoid Subtype                                     SUBTYPE

• The defining feature of the paranoid subtype is the presence of auditory
  hallucinations or prominent delusional thoughts. Paranoid schizophrenia is the
  most common subtype.

• People diagnosed with the paranoid subtype may not appear odd or unusual
  and may not readily discuss the symptoms of their illness.

• Typically, the hallucinations and delusions revolve around some characteristic
  theme, and this theme often remains fairly consistent over time.

• A person’s temperaments and general behaviours often are related to the
  content of the disturbance of thought

 We are now improving our opening sequence from our last one completely by changing our
 old idea to a new one. We went from thriller to drama and now we are doing a physiological
 thriller . It is about a girl who has schizophrenia and she was put in care as her parents died
 when she was two. We fully researched and revised schizophrenia so we improved our
 understanding and knowledge making sure we make an effective opening sequence.



                           How are we contributing
Sanel and Kaya are contributing by meeting up on the Holidays to fully research and carefully
think about our new ideas making sure that everything make sense for our audience. Also
we made sure what effects schizophrenia has on people so we could make it realistic as possible.

 Previously our idea for our whole film was about a girl who got introduced to a drug called
 LSD. She got addicted to it and starts to ruin her life and blocks herself out from a social life.

 What went well?
 • Creative
 • Interesting
 • Scary

 Even better if?
 • Less complicated
 • Don’t give away the ending

 Previously our opening sequence was showing the girls journey to the forest while she starts
 to have hallucination.

 What went well?
 • Creative idea’s of the hallucination
 • the audience can watch her journey to the forest

 Even better if?
 • Change the ending as it’s too confusing

   How the idea was improved from draft 1 to draft 2

     • We took out mental illness schizophrenia and just made her actually be
       possessed by demons who wanted to let the world know about her cult
       scaring the world so the demons can possess them too from watching the
       video.

     • Doing deeper research of the reason of possession that demons can be
       related into the real world and why the certain people get possessed
       because they’re venerable.

     • We also changed the location to somewhere more flexible as the room
       was small and we couldn’t move things around. Therefore we changed the
       to one of the group members basement as it is spacious and reliable.

‘Black Swan’-2010 Opening Sequence
                                                 Woman see’s herself walking by
                                                 At the beginning of the opening sequence you
                                                 see two people who looks completely the same
                                                 but both dress completely different to each other
                                                 and the audience will want to know why she is
                                                 seeing herself.

You see a White Swan and a Black Swan
Towards the middle of the opening sequence
you see the same character but dressed in two different
colours and again this links with the first image above that
one is wearing and black and the other is wearing white
and the audience will want to know what are the colours
representing, and what is the meaning behind it.
                                                      Something is happening with the woman
                                                      The audience realises that something is
                                                      happening to the women as they can see the
                                                      colour red in her eyes and the audience would
                                                      want to know what is happening to her and
                                                      what is effecting her to be like this.

 How are we creating enigma in our opening sequences…

 • By not letting the audience know why she is walking to the forest

 • The audience would want to know why she is this way , how she's tired,
   dirty and bloody

 • Also they audience would want to know why she is seeing these
   delusional characters and why are they are a clown and a doll.

 • By not telling the audience what she is digging up from the ground.

 How have we improved from draft 1?...

• We draw the audience into our opening sequence more this time so the
  audience can feel sorry for the venerable character.

• Rather than showing someone kidnapped like we did in draft one. This time
  we made the audience follow the girls journey by slowly building tension.

• Draft 1 had no climax, the opening sequence was just telling the story, now
  we build the tension up to a climax and making the audience feel
  uncomfortable and wanting to watch more.

  How have you developed your characters since draft 1?
  • We haven't developed the characters at all, we’ve changed them completely.

  • We changed our character to people that the target audience can relate to and feel
    sympathy and emotions or making it seem real.

  • We unlike draft have no older characters, the characters in our opening sequence now
    are all young adults

  • 24. Kaya G Research on schizophrenia Subtypes of schizophrenia Schizophrenia: Disorganized Subtype • This subtype’s predominant feature is disorganization of the thought processes. • Hallucinations and delusions are less pronounced, although there may be some evidence of these symptoms. • These people may have significant impairments in their ability to maintain the activities of daily living. Even the more routine tasks, such as dressing, bathing or brushing teeth, can be significantly impaired or lost. • People diagnosed with this subtype also may have significant impairment in their ability to communicate effectively. At times, their speech can become virtually incomprehensible, due to disorganized thinking.
  • 25. Kaya G Research on schizophrenia Subtypes of schizophrenia Schizophrenia: Catatonic Subtype • The predominant clinical features seen in the catatonic subtype involve disturbances in movement. • Affected people may exhibit a dramatic reduction in activity, to the point that voluntary movement stops, as in catatonic stupor. Alternatively, activity can dramatically increase, a state known as catatonic excitement. • They may maintain a pose in which someone places them, sometimes for extended periods of time. • Affected people may voluntarily assume unusual body positions, or manifest unusual facial contortions or limb movements. • Other symptoms associated with the catatonic subtype include an almost parrot- like repeating of what another person is saying or mimicking the movements of another person.
  • 26. Kaya G Research on schizophrenia Subtypes of schizophrenia Schizophrenia: Undifferentiated Subtype • The undifferentiated subtype is diagnosed when people have symptoms of schizophrenia that are not necessarily formed or specific enough to make a classification into another subtype • The symptoms of any one person can alter at different points in time, resulting in uncertainty to the correct subtype arrangement. • Other people will display symptoms that are remarkably stable over time but still may not fit one of the typical subtype pictures.
  • 27. Kaya G Research on schizophrenia Subtypes of schizophrenia Schizophrenia: Residual Subtype • This subtype is diagnosed when the patient no longer displays noticeable symptoms. • In such cases, the schizophrenic symptoms generally have lessened. • Hallucinations, delusions or characteristic behaviours may still be present • Some people require secure care in state institutions, while others are employed and can maintain an active family life. • In general, better outcomes are associated with brief episodes of symptoms worsening followed by a return to normal functioning.
  • 28. Kaya G Research on schizophrenia Subtypes of schizophrenia WE ARE USING THIS Schizophrenia: Paranoid Subtype SUBTYPE • The defining feature of the paranoid subtype is the presence of auditory hallucinations or prominent delusional thoughts. Paranoid schizophrenia is the most common subtype. • People diagnosed with the paranoid subtype may not appear odd or unusual and may not readily discuss the symptoms of their illness. • Typically, the hallucinations and delusions revolve around some characteristic theme, and this theme often remains fairly consistent over time. • A person’s temperaments and general behaviours often are related to the content of the disturbance of thought
