This is the result:
Pov task – becoming the character.

our last presentation for NHS.
these are the new hospital scenes that i edited , we decided it would be best to go with a more brighter colour than the greyish colour that we had previously. This would not only make the characters pop out more during the final production but it would be easier to make it juxtapose the previously dark imagery.
these two are the new scenes.
At first for this last hospital scene i thought by changing the colour it might work. However my teammate gave an idea of what if we put the outside image of the hospital instead of inside of it.
My two main writers that i will be focusing on mainly for my creative writing that i would like to do for next year.

This is the final essay , however i didnt like the layout of how it looked and i wanted it to look more presentable .
This is the final essay outcome.
What is PTSD?
Ptsd as also known as post-traumatic stress disorder, is known to have symptoms of Aggressive outbursts, panic attacks, depression and night terrors . Which then were known as shell-shock.
The question lies on how does peaky blinders tackle these symptoms ? And how do they portray it through one single character?
The main points:
My main two characters that i wanted to focus on was Arthur Shelby (Paul Anderson) and Thomas Shelby ( Cillian Murphy) since they both represent some type of mental health in their own way which is indeed different , showing the contrast of two different sides and what things would affect each individual person.
These are the websites i used for more research and analysis on the two characters and what mental illness they both represent. I found more research on Arthur then Thomas since his one was rather more family based and also war based.

Based on the essay that i wanted to write about, at first i had no ideas.
I didn’t know what films, series, animations or games to write about and analyse. But then i thought of a series i had finished recently which was peaky blinders.
that made me want to do something about peaky blinders, but the question for me was what would the essay be about if i do do it about peaky blinders?
Then i realised a pattern within the visual representation. And it was the way the actors were portraying mental illness , which in this case mainly is PTSD.
My idea sparked from another idea that was meant for another task. This is from the video essay and i wanted to make a plan to recreate it when i had time , however i then used peaky blinders to analyse for my actual essay because there is a lot more depth in the visuals and the actors behaviours that would be really amazing to work on.
we were given as an activity ( by choice if we wanted to) to make a video essay about any animation, film , story and or video games focusing on any subject criteria we wanted.
i managed to understand it wrong and finished the work really badly, however my intention for the video was that how we react when we get work from our tutors and how we feel when our teammate doesn’t do their work on time. The above picture was my script/plan.
My mistake was that mine was also short compared to everyone else’s work when they presented.
i tried using an anime called Naruto shippuden to showcase my idea.
