Potential Ideas
For this module, we were tasked to explore and create a design outcome or
creative work based on mental health.
I went ahead and researched what type of mental health issues there are and
narrowed the ones I was interested in. I made a moodboard on Canva and
placed all of my references somewhat based on the 3 topics I could choose.

I referenced a music video on YouTube, "Kilmer" as how I wanted the style of the animation to be. They used bold hard
colors and each scene is quite dramatic. As for how I would translate
that into my animation, I plan to make most of the scenes to have those
kind of dramatized or maybe even over exaggerated scenes.
The color scheme would be a mixture of the 1st and 2nd art in the color
palette slide. I might change the colors once I begin to finalize the
actual animation or even the animatic.

(CHOSEN) Schizophrenia:
Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder which affects everything
they experience to be skewed to something different. Such as, what
they hear, see, feel, and even do. These hallucinations causes them to
see things or hear voices that aren't observed by others. It causes
them to lose touch with reality and makes it hard for them to get by
day to day life.

Trauma:
Psychological trauma is an emotional response towards or usually
created by distressing events. There are multiple types of trauma
like:
-
Acute Trauma:
Results from a single, short-term stressful or dangerous
incident.
-
Chronic Trauma:
Involves repeated and prolonged exposure to distressing
events, such as domestic violence or abuse.
-
Complex Trauma:
Exposure to varied and multiple traumatic events, often of an
invasive, interpersonal nature.
Eating Disorder:
Eating disorder affects the mind by involving your thoughts about food
and your eating habits. Most caused by focusing too much on their
weight, body shape, and how they look.
Behavioral symptoms of eating disorders may include:
- Restrictive eating.
- Eating a lot in a short amount of time.
- Avoiding food or certain foods.
- Forced vomiting after meals or laxative misuse.
- Compulsive exercising after meals.
- Frequent bathroom breaks after eating.
- Withdrawing from friends or social activities.

This is just a storyboard draft for now. I plan to change some or most
of the parts to look and progress better in the story.

This is the finalised storyboard after receiving feedbacks and using
the advice Ms Eunice gave me and fixed the scenes.
