According to my survey results, the vast majority of people feel that a TV advert of some description would be the best way to communicate the topic of depression.
As it can be a very sore subject to talk about and approach, I think a friendly, simple way of displaying relevant information would have the best effect. The TV adverts I make are going to be animations, the characters are presented above. The reason behind the animations, are to make the topic more approachable to talk about, and make them differ from the common adverts using real people today.
Depression is a very personal illness as it varies from person to person, and can effect each and every one of us for any reason at any time. It is for this reason in particular that I am against using real people trying to act a feeling/emotion which could completely mis-interpret and mis-communicate the problem. By using simple animations, the style will stand out in the hope that people will take interest. From here the message can be slowly introduced - but also gives the audience an option whether to take notice or not. The animations will tell a story, but only enough to introduce the problem.
The animation will then direct the audience to a website where they can find relevant information about what to do and how. This website will direct to a page with links to sites such as NHS.
My characters and symbols shown previously will form the basis of my project in order to communicate this issue appropriately.
