1. Content: Who is your subject and what will they do in the film.

Our subject is a man with OCD, they will demonstrate some common occurences in their every day life where OCD makes them do things other people wouldn’t feel the need to. EG. Pressing the button at trafficlights 5 times. Brushing teeth for exactly one minute etc.

2. Craft: What is your visual approach to the subject what will the film actually look and sound like.

See the test film to see the visual style of the film, still desiding whether it will be in color or not but that will most likely be decided in post.
3. Context: How does it relate to the brief (Victims of Capitalism or Outsiders).

It relates to the brief by showing someone who seems different than the majority. Highlighting some of the ways OCD affects day to day life for them.

Synopsis

A day in the life of an OCD sufferer. In this film we see how OCD has affected the subjects lifestyle and personality. Highlighting the differences and ignoring the “normal” stuff, we will really show the key points and habits of the man.

Sometimes we will exagerate the affects a small amount, i find in short films (especially drama) the best way to establish a subject or character is through stereotype. Obviously we will not be insulting with it. This will be artistically and tastefully done.

The film will be intercut with interviews with the subject describing some moments where OCD has seriously affected his life in a big way.

Finally we will ask how he thinks his life would be without OCD and whether he feels betrayed by his own mind.
