Stigma: Discrimination Against the Mentally Ill
Video By: Kaitlyn Scott
For my documentary, I wanted to showcase the hardships that people with mental illnesses have to go through in terms of stigma. I decided to split it into two parts: the segment on depression, and the segment on borderline personality disorder. I did this because I wanted to show the differences in stigma, and I though that doing both together would be too generalized.
I decided to go for the multiple-interview voice-over approach, mainly because I wanted the POV's from different mental health professionals on this subject. I also made the video a bit more cool-toned, because those are the colors I associate most with sadness or mental illnesses.
