During the opening of my final product my protagonist is unaware of her underlying mental illness. However, later in the plot she discovers that Schizophrenia is the cause of her hallucinations. Therefore to suggest the presence of the underlying mental illness I have added short, sharp inserts, which could be interpretted as mental the protagonist's mental images. I was inspired to do this after seeing the opening credits of Seven, in which the cuts are jerky and erratic because I think it indicates instability to the viewer.
There could be issues involving the representation of mental illness but other than a few hints, used to intrigue the viewer, I have not represented the social group stereotypically or offensively.
