Language used for script
Initially, we thought of using Malay language for our film, “Schizophrenia” to making it differently and uniquely. We want to explore more about Malay language production, experience it in different way. However, after much consideration, we decided to stick on English language, as we don’t to create any restriction to our audience. Moreover, we have Chinese and Malay team member. It’s better to have it in English instead as we can have more basic ideas/concepts about English short film.

Regarding the question we have question ourselves, we have do some research work.
We get to interview the psychiatrist to make it stronger and convincing as well as to understand more about the diseases. -> Source of Authority
Moreover, we did some online research work.

Basically, it talked about how people who suffer with such disease, they also have some illusion and imaginary voice talking to them. Example: Listening some sound which is irritating, voices which calling them to hurt themselves, some negative comment which influence their mind and manipulate their mind doing something bad. A tiny percent of it would result turning violent or commit suicide. Both female and male have the chance of getting such diseases.

Short film trailer
We wanted to start-up 2 different trailer, one would be the introduction trailer and another would be promotional trailer.
Introduction trailer: It’s teaser which create the curiosity of audience to look forward to our short film. Also, it’s our first introduction about what’s about our film. It takes up to 1 min.
Promotional trailer: It’s the common movie/short film trailer that we had always seen. We are still deciding on the timing.
Example/concept: Link
Some little pointer that we have during discussion:
· Directing the talents are much important than the script but it depends.
· Focus more of visuals than on the dialogue.
· Jump cut method– mixing up during the editing such as, transition of sad and happy to portray the feeling of disorder. This is more of visuals.
· If have an interview, we can put it in the video at the end.
§ Take photographs (DSLR) (16:9) or using video recorder
Overall, it is better to focus on the visuals and way of acting from the casts rather than the script.
