PLANNING: INTERVIEW

My media group and I have decided to do a Psychiatry examination interview on the main character of the movie Sam. We all thought that sometime into the near future he would end up being arrested or examined by a specialist to see what is wrong with him as his aggression and controlling emotions get the best of him. We have decided to film this psychiatry examination and plan questions and answers as a script to develop our character. We got this idea from FilmEscape. I read the article by Charlie Sierra on how to get to Know your Character by giving them a questionnaire. They have collected questions about the physical, family, relationships, personalities and flaws aspect fro the character interrogation  Further more I have personally researched into the way Psychiatrist ask questions and also provided props from our filming. 

A psychiatrist would usually: 

• assess a person's state of mind
• use the “biopsychosocial” model of understanding. This emphasises the importance of a person's past experiences, family, culture, surroundings and work as well as any medical features.
• diagnose a mental illness
• use a range of psychological treatments
• use a range of medications
• help a person recover.

We have written rough questions to ask Sam:

Do you think that this picture is demeaning towards women?
Do you think that it is acceptable to control and boss women around? Why?
Who has inspired you to become a photographer?
Do you think that your success has been based on your attitude towards women?
Does the work of David Bailey inspire you?
How do you think this has effected your attitude towards your loved ones?
