The finished video highlights the stress and terror the man talked about in his interview. Who the man is really doesn't matter. The spread of mental health in this country is enormous and everyone dealing with it has a different story to tell but all seem to have the same type of issues. This man was really determined to try and gain his life back and through the use of text I've tried to get this across. Various sounds in the video relate to what he deals with- A high speed train he almost jumped in front of, the sounds of police radio's when he was arrested, alien sounds he can't explain and the constant depressing sound of rain falling.
I wanted the overall piece to confuse and unsettle the viewer, giving them a chance to sample what these issues can do to a person.
I like this finished video but am not sure about the use of text. It maybe gives too much away and directs the viewer whereas with no text the viewer can tie in their own narrative.
