Review

Well the main question was is ADHD curable....
Our short documentary is about the lives of 2 ADHD sufferers. We decided to follow 2 characters of different ages so that viewers could see the differences and similarities the dissorder had amongst different age groups. Both The sufferes were girls, which added to our authenticity boys are usually more misbehaved than girlies.

The use of our phyciatrist educates the viewers about ADHD, as the subject is not brought up that often, and the symptoms are highlighted. Whilest filming Vox Pops, we realised that older people were the ones that were mostly aware of the dissorder, whilst younger community were nt, meaning this was a ideal subject for our younger audience to watch to educate themselves.


Our overall aim with this documentary was to make viewers more aware of ADHD and to find out whether it is curable.....

Review

Wild a documentary which focuses on a mental issue or in other words a mental disorder mainly affected in children. The short documentary looks in to the lives of two attention deficit hyperactive disorder suffers and how it affects their lives or does it not? The documentary Wild does not only focus on the two main protagonists however shows other views on attention deficit hyperactive disorder is it only a con? Or a money making scheme? What causes attention deficit hyperactive disorder and is it curable?

Eighteen year old Rishika Kumar presents herself as a emotional individual who has been highly affected with this disorder and eight year old Monique Flora a hyperactive and loud child who expresses her disorder differently to Rishika.
The use of many techniques brings together a hitting documentary which presents its argument or message in a unique way to its audience.


Title – Wild disorder
Directed By – Vanita Dade, Jalna Maharjan and Hardeep Sokhi
Cast – Monique Flora, Riann Flora, Rishika Kumar, and Dr robin

Interesting Fact:

Hardeep, Jalna and Vanita went to London to film Dr robin(Phyciatrist) who gave a sense of professionalism to our documentary, unfortunately we filmed him with the mike turned off as a result we had to go re-shoot Dr robin.

Hardeep and Jalna stayed up all night trying to load the footage up on to the computer however, in the end it turn out we had the wrong wire therefore we resulted in getting the wire off a fellow student whom came to the rescue.

Review:

What is attention deficit hyperactive disorder? What are the causes? Does it come naturally or is it inherited through genes? People who suffer from this how do they cope? How do they feel?

The short documentary represents the life of two real life people whom suffer from attention deficit hyperactive disorder. Wild explore the lifestyle of a day to day basis of two protagonists Monique Flora 8 and Rishika Kumar 18. Monique Flora a hyper yet emotional girl lets us into her world to see how her life is through her angle. Rishika Kumar shares her struggles and emotional thoughts making us identify with her point of view.

Wild doesn’t only show real life experience also gives an insight to what actual attention deficit hyperactive disorder is, gives general issues that have been arisen and debates which follow in our society today.

The use of montage, editing and music creates a sense of heart touching feel to many scene that occur in the documentary. The use of instrumental music created an almost impact feel of the subject where viewers can sympathies with the protagonist.
Many viewers are to identify with the protagonist and relate back to the following problems. The documentary follows the lives of two different people keeping the audiences concentration throughout the documentary.
