  Psychological analysis of the film split~ The film Split, directed by M. Night Shyamalan, presents a complex portrayal of Kevin Wendell Crumb, who is shown to experience dissociative identity disorder (DID). M. Night Shyamalan uses this disorder to symbolise the psychological aspects of the disorder rather than to depict it clinically. They do this by using each of Kevin’s five alters to represent his psychological defences. However, it’s said that Kevin has a total of 24 individual personalities. These are just the ones showcased within the film: Barry~ Represents control and social presentation (the masking of typicality). He allows Kevin to appear stable in the eyes of others.

When I initially captured this photo, my intention was to focus on the distorted reflection from the willow tree above the canal.

In a cinematic context his can be linked with a atmospheric and cinematic pause; this allows a space for reflection without the need for dialogue.  This photo was framed as a wide establishing shot, this captures the transition between night and day through silhouettes and natural light. The canal is used as a natural leading line guid...

This is a short film that I directed, filmed, and edited for my GCSE media studies coursework! I was awarded a grade 6 on this piece as well as my theoretically based written exams, this piece was also featured in multiple talks and assembly's at my high school where they showcased students coursework. During my time on this course I was also regularly asked personally to be present at open evenings and subject events to showcase the course to other students and parents alongside my teachers and technicians. This particular piece of work proved to be challenging as I had a project brief to follow, scripts to produce for people taking part, style models, initial planning, and I also had to complete this project alongside my other subjects in year 11 at GCSE level.
