PSA Reflection


Our topic is the bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is a mental disease, which a patient repeats being depressed and manic continuously. It often leads a patient to commit suicide. The possibility a patient will commit suicide is 10% in a lifetime. It causes problems in relationships with other people as in the video and thus a patients often become lonely. Targets of the video above are patients of the bipolar disorder who barely realize that he/she has a mental disease.

The act was done by Niki and Hannah and they made the script. The filming took place in the entrance hall. They are sisters and their relationship breaks up due to the sudden change in Hannah's emotion. Madhav is a writer, editor and explainer and organized our work. I, however, did virtually nothing, except for the little bit of editing and a extremely short narrating. In fact, the acting scene that I took part in was somehow unrecorded and I could not take a part in the video, but it is a highly poor excuse I suppose and is not valid. To improve, we should be more emotional and show our facial expression and zoom in a face so that the audience will understand the seriousness of the disease. Also, we should have made it more realistic by filming it somewhere else, such as class room where human relationship easily breaks up. Lastly, I think the video should have been shorter because it is an advertisement and it cannot be very long.
