Risk Assessment - "Isolation" - Depict!

Costume List - "Isolation" - Depict!

• Fake Blood:
   We may need fake blood for the shots set in the dark room. These shots are intended to reflect the mind of those with mental health issues, the blood represents how the subject is being torn apart from the inside.
  
• Dark Clothes:
   Dark clothes will help to reflect the tone of the piece; the beach is dark, the room is dark, their mind is dark, therefore their clothes should be dark.
  
• Thin Clothes:
   The clothes of the subject should be visibly thin, this (coupled with the cold, dark setting of Gorleston Beach) will make the subject look cold, and give the overall piece a cold, dark tone.
  
• Hair:
   The subject's hair should be messy, unkempt, and wild, this also reflects the subject's fragile, messy and wild mind.

Initial Ideas Post - Depict! - "Isolation"

Isolation is a short film depicting the feelings of those experiencing mental health issues.

 The piece is surreal in nature, not aiming to give a realistic representation of the feelings of isolation.

An unnamed subject wanders along an empty beach; they look stoic, and calm, but inside they are being torn apart.
 They proceed towards the sea, the waves lapping at their feet. They wander out into the water, they stop and stare, they kneel down.
 They drop their head into the water, attempting to drown their self. They realise they are not strong enough to do it, and jump out.
 They stare at the camera, dripping with water, looking stoic and calm.
 They stare at the camera, with the world playing behind them, looking stoic and calm.


Cut in and out of this piece will also be quick shots of the subject in a dark room, thrashing around, yelling out. This is intended to represent their inner emotions, the fact that they are being torn apart inside.
 It also contrasts against the calm, and quiet scenes of the subject on the beach, representing that what they show on the outside is not necessarily how they feel on the inside.

As mentioned before, this piece is intended to represent the feelings of isolation that people feel when they experience mental health issues.
 The shots of the beach will need to be empty, except from the subject (representing the feelings of loneliness), the sky will need to be dark, and cloudy, and the colours will need to be dark, and cold (giving the scene a cold feeling).
