The intention of our work, from my perspective was to open up the conversation surrounding mental health, and it’s relation to art. We wanted to create an experimental piece, something that didn’t just have a completely black and white message attached to it. When the audience viewed the piece, we wanted them to view it openly and from multiple perspectives. Creating a biased reaction or point of view was not our aim, in fact it was the complete opposite. I have never created an experimental piece, whenever I have worked in documentary filmmaking previously I have followed a very standard structure. I’m proud of the way I approached this and forced myself to steer away from what I was used to. Creating a piece that didn’t have a point blank conclusion was difficult, but working through how to structure something like this, I think it turned out really well. I worked mostly on the visual side of things, and I’m especially proud of the beginning sequence. We went in with the aim to create initial feelings of anxiety, and I think I was able to achieve that. The quick and sporadic shots edited together created the exact feelings that I think Josie and I had both hoped to achieve. I can’t take individual credit for the soundscape, but I am proud of how well the visuals and audio worked together. At times it feels out of sync, but in an intentional way. It’s something I have never done before, and I think it creates a really interesting and whimsical effect. Every layer of our film is so completely different, and the way we were able to showcase everything together as one fully formed piece I think went really well.
