Proposal Form / Draft 2 - Dealing with OCD

In my second draft of my proposal I final decided on a title for my project 'Living with OCD' and instead of making a documentary I thought about making a diary. Within this diary I will put images of what I do in my everyday life which make me get on with my day without me feeling anxious. There I have thought more about how i will fine my research and what my final outcome will be.

Story Inspirations

Poster Inspiration

.        

This poster is creating awareness by displaying their company have a Cervical Cancer Prevention week, which I think is a great idea to make people more aware of this disease and what we can do to stop it. 

For this particular poster I like the fact they added a clock to the image showing how little time it takes to have a smear, therefore why can't we offer it to girls under the age of 25.

Poster inspirations

Here are some of my poster inspirations, a lot of the colouring in this particular posters are pink, this automatically shows the audience that the posters are aged at woman as it is a very feminine colour.

This poster also lets people know that the month of January is Cervical Cancer awareness month, they have also added the badge in the words 'love, hope and faith' which people will automatically know the poster is something to do with cancer.

Inspiration Poster

This poster created by Transport for London is part of their awareness campaign of road safety. This poster along with others that they have produced participle stand out and make you think about your actions either being the driver or just the someone crossing the road. The words that stand out I think are 'STOP' 'THINK' 'LIVE' as if we don't do this then we will end up like the boy on the floor who has been hit by a van and now his life is over. 

Proposal Form / Draft 1 - Dealing with OCD

For the first idea of my project I wanted to focus on something that I have to deal with in everyday life. There are many others that have the same medical issue 'Obsessive Compulsive Disorder' and it affects people in different way. I wanted to make an awareness campaign of what types of OCD their are and how people deal with it, also to make other open up as they are not alone. 

Proposal form part 1 continued

I have three people's consent to shoot them in a video explaining why lowering the age of the smear test is so important and why it should be spread across to the government. I have asked three girls in this case due to it being a personal issue for the female gender.

Proposal Form Draft 1

My first initial idea for my project was to create a campaign for cervical cancer awareness in young girls. My overall plan is to create awareness and to lower the age for a smear test to 16, young girls are dying from cervical cancer due to them not being the 'right' age for a smear test to detect the cancer. The current age that you are allowed to have a smear test is 25 and over, I want my campaign to persuade the government and NHS to lower the age due to young girls losing their lives to cervical cancer.

Notes on OCD

I made notes of what are the most common behaviours that affect people with the mental illness and also I found that OCD is classified into 3 levels of severity. However at the bottom of the page I made a list of things which I need to do for part of my project.

Mind Map - OCD

Project idea 2 - Notes

Second idea I came up with for my project was to do with fashion, due to this also having a big impact to my life. I am a young women who looks upon the latest fashion inspiration and also what celebrities are wearing. For this project I thought about comparing how people shop either online or actuating going to the shops. The research which I will gather if I do this idea will be going back in time to see how fashion has changed.

Project idea 1 - Notes

This idea is something that I know a lot about as I deal with OCD myself and making a project about it  means that I can make others open up and not worry about this mental illness. Thought of this as its something that I find that people don't have confidences in opening up as it is a mental illness. Creating a project on this subject may help others in ways of seeing how i deal with situations and I can also take their advise which may improve certain things I have to do in my every day lifestyle.
